| 1 | * BaseBreakingCharacter: There are basically no neutral opinions about Zifnab (much like his counterparts in other W&H works). He's either [[TheScrappy dreadfully unfunny]], [[FourthWallObserver constantly breaks suspension of disbelief]], and [[CreatorsPet way over-pushed]], or he's [[CloudCuckoolander charmingly daft]], desperately needed [[PluckyComicRelief comic relief]] in a [[GrayAndGrayMorality dark]] story, and [[Literature/{{Dragonlance}} pleasantly nostalgic]]. |
| 2 | * CriticalDissonance: While popular with the Weis & Hickman fanbase, certain critics seemed to have it in for the series. ''Publishers Weekly'' in particular got increasingly scathing and vitriolic with each entry. |
| 3 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: Hugh the Hand. |
| 4 | * GeniusBonus The discussion in one of the appendices of how magic works (by manipulating the "wave" that governs the probability of events) seems a fairly clear reference to/inspiration from quantum mechanics. |
| 5 | * MoralEventHorizon: It's impossible to have any sympathy for Sinistrad after learning how he used and abused his teenaged wife Iridal and son Bane [[spoiler: though Bane didn't exactly take it lying down...]] |
| 6 | * NightmareFuel: In rough descending order of freakiness, the Lazar, the serpents, and the tytans. |
| 7 | * {{Squick}}: The Haplo/Alake subplot in ''Serpent Mage.'' Not for the squeamish. |
| 8 | * TearJerker: |
| 9 | ** [[spoiler: Bane's death, though you feel far more sorry for the mother forced to execute her own son than the psychopath-in-training who really had it coming]]. |
