* GeniusBonus: To someone with a background in linguistics (particularly Germanic and Romance languages), a lot of the dialects and slang feel like a BilingualBonus mixed with a little BuffySpeak.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: In the third book, when [[spoiler: Rossamund goes to tell her that he's a monster after all,]] Europe doesn't care. He hugs her, and [[DefrostingIceQueen after a moment]], she hugs him back and murmurs about how ironic it is that he's captured her affections. D'aww.
* JerkassWoobie: Threnody's jerkass attitude is due in part to being very upset with her mother for forcing her to undergo a body-transforming operation she didn't want.
* {{Moe}}: Freckle. {{Squee}}. Not to mention Rossamund himself!
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: These follow Europe around, but the QGU scene at the end of the second book stands out. Rossamund also gets his share.
