** Faegan is also seen as a mentor, even wiser and more pragmatic than Wigg, who is supposed to be sympathetic for losing his daughter. In practice, he is seen as an arrogant man who saw his daughter as a tool and [[spoiler:was glad she died, because she was forced into evil]].



* HilariousInHindsight: Go on, try reading about the sorceress' minions without picturing them as [[Franchise/DespicableMe gibberish-speaking]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Minions}} little yellow dudes]]...

** Newcomb ''really'' wants the reader to know how evil the sorceresses are. They seem to only have two modes of acting: exposition machine or gleeful rapist and TortureTechnician. As expected, the descriptions of their various atrocities quickly [[TooBleakStoppedCaring stop being shocking]] and dilute to just being either dull or comically overblown. Their top enforcer, Kluge, suffers from the same issue.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Tristan can be this for some readers, given his tendency to complain a lot and behaving like a BrattyTeenageSon whilst actually being [[ManChild almost 30]]. His hang-ups about being king earn him few sympathy points, as it tends to come off as him being a selfish, immature jerk who just doesn't want to take any responsibility in his life (which is especially difficult for some readers to swallow given his age). The fact he frequently does rather stupid things but rarely experiences negative consequences for this doesn't help, either.

The fact he frequently does rather stupid things but rarely experiences negative consequences for this doesn't help, either. However, he downplays this at some moments, because sometimes his mentors call him out for doing something morally right, and he also gets put through things [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil no one deserves]].
