7 | !!Tropes featured in her other works include: |
8 | * AllTrollsAreDifferent: In ''Goblin Moon'' and ''The Gnome's Engine''. |
9 | * AlternativeCalendar: The nations of Euterpe in ''Goblin Moon'' use a calendar of nine forty-day "seasons", rather than months. The actual solar year is a bit longer than that, so celebratory "intercalary days" round it out every three seasons. |
10 | * BecauseDestinySaysSo: Some of the characters in ''The Queen's Necklace'' think so. |
11 | * BrotherhoodOfFunnyHats: In ''Goblin Moon'', the Glassblowers guild has an offshoot of scholars and wearers of goofy ceremonial robes, paralleling what the RealLife Freemasons are like. |
12 | * DuelToTheDeath: In ''The Queen's Necklace'', Wil is readying himself for a duel when the novel opens. |
13 | * FairyGodmother: Played with in ''Goblin Moon'', in which the Duchess (a three-quarter fairy UnevenHybrid) was ''supposed'' to become Elsie's godmother, but arrived so late to the christening ceremony that a substitute was chosen. Outraged at this perceived insult, she plotted revenge for years by pretending to consider Elsie her "goddaughter" nevertheless, but scheming in secret to lead her to a terrible fate. |
14 | * FantasyCounterpartCulture: ''Goblin Moon'' and ''The Gnome's Engine'' are set in 'Euterpe', which is a close fit to 18th century Europe, and incorporates such parallel nationalities as 'Spagnards', 'Imbrians', and 'Nordics'. |
15 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: Blaise Trefallon and Wilrowan Blackheart of ''The Queen's Necklace''. |
16 | * LatexPerfection: In a non-facial example, [[spoiler:Lord Vodni]] from ''Goblin Moon'' has a grotesque bird-like claw for a hand, which he conceals with some kind of artificial-skin glove. Until he peels it bare in a rage, Sera notices nothing unusual about his hands, even though it has talons long and sharp enough for combat. |
17 | * OurGnomesAreWeirder: In ''Goblin Moon'' and ''The Gnome's Engine''. |
18 | * PhantasySpelling: Played with in ''Goblin Moon'', where "fairy" is the name of the race, while "Fee" and "Farisee" are apparently two different nationalities within that race. |
