Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Averted in the first two books - the only named characters who are around for more than a chapter or two are [[TheHero Alissa]], [[DoggedNiceGuy Strell]], [[TeamPet Talon]], [[TheSociopath Bailic]], [[OldMaster Talo-Toecan]], and [[TheCharmer Lodesh]]. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] due to the fact that the Hold had been emptied, and in the later two books more characters do show up and are relevant to the overall plot.

* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler: at least one major conflict in each book is solved in part with this. (Book 1: Alissa nearly dying from blowing out her tracings, Book 2: Alissa remembering herself after shifting, Book 3: Alissa making it back to her own time, Book 4: Alissa getting her source back)]]

Added DiffLines:

* FantasticRacism: The people of the plains and the people of the foothills are perpetually posed at the brink of war, but never actually begin one because of their interdependence. People from each region have distinctive physical characteristics, and neither culture takes nicely to half-breeds (like Alissa) or people who look different than the rest of their people (like Bailic). [[spoiler: It turns out this segregation is a deliberate action by The Masters in order to breed the correct stock for additional human-to-Raku Masters.]]

* RewatchBonus: Pretty much everything to do with Lodesh is explained after you read Forgotten Truth. Additionally, all of Useless's muttering and question-dodging makes much more sense after you find out [[spoiler:Alissa is actually a Master, not a Keeper.]]
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Played with in regards to Strell and Lodesh: Strell may come from a chartered name in the plains, but his family is all gone and he has no magical talent ('poor'), while Lodesh is a [[spoiler:300+ year old ghost from Ese'Nawoer cursed to live until he repays his blood debt,]] but he is also a Keeper and therefore closer to Alissa's standing ('rich).

* Futureshadowing: Alissa [[spoiler:awakens Ese'Nawoer by remembering a party that she will attend there a full book later and three hundred years in the past.]] Additionally, from the moment she first meets Lodesh she can't shake the feeling that she knows him already, [[spoiler:even though she hasn't met him yet in her own timeline.]]

The first two books centre on Alissa, a girl of [[FantasticRacism mixed heritage]], and her quest to find [[WizardingSchool the Hold]] and rescue the [[MacGuffin Book of First Truth]] from the [[TheSociopath crazed Keeper Bailic]] who has [[InferredHolocaust killed all the remaining Keepers and Masters in his quest to possess the book]]. Along the way, she teams up with [[WanderingMinstrel Strell]] and [[OldMaster the captive Talo-Toecan]] to discover her own magical potential and defeat Bailic.
The third book focuses on Alissa's unintentional travel back through time to the Hold in its heyday and her efforts to get home without disrupting the past or going mad from her displacement.
In the final book Alissa tries to find the missing Masters of the Hold and to bring them back, facing off with one who would rather not return home.
