35	!!Tropes associated with her works:
36	* SignatureStyle: Carey is well known for integrating sex and unique relationships into her books, either as part of the plot or exploration of the tropes involved, rather than for {{fanservice}}:
37	** ''Kushiel's Legacy'', the longest running series, as a setting is built from the ground up on exploring fantasy sexual freedom, sometimes verging into {{deconstruction}}, and this is even before we get into what individual characters bring to the mix.
38	** While light on actual sex, ''The Sundering'' is built on inverting Tolkeinesque good-versus-evil mythology while invoking SexIsEvil at the root of the conflict.
39	** Downplayed with ''Santa Olivia'', which merely features a QueerRomance, albeit devoting [[AuthorAppeal plenty of fun time to it]].
40	** ''Agent of Hel'' follows a heroine that has to deal with a half-demon heritage and UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom tendencies mixed tightly into her emotional and physical relationships.
41	** ''Miranda and Caliban'' is a PerspectiveFlip of Theatre/TheTempest, and befitting a Shakespeare tale, takes full advantage of AlternateCharacterInterpretation to take StarCrossedLovers to its natural heart-wrenching conclusion.
