These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way.

YMMV: The Sharing Knife
Crowning Moment of Funny: In the first book, Dag being cornered into revealing his age — which is fifty-five years old to Fawn's eighteen years, making him thirty-seven years older than her. He is essentially forced into revealing this in front of all of the Bluefields, including Fawnnote (She knew he was a widower who was twice her age if not more... just not that much more). In the middle of dinner. While Fawn is taking a drink. And to make it worse...
[Fawn] looked up sideways at [Dag] in muffled, possibly, alarm. Or dismay. He hoped it wasn't horror.
"Papa," she muttered, "is fifty-three."
All right, a little horror. They would deal with it.
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming/Awesome: Dag's thinly-veiled "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the Bluefields when one of her brothers asks why Dag would possibly want to marry Fawn, especially since Dag won't inherit any land — or, indeed, anything at all — for marrying her.
Dag:(when asked for three good reasons) Only that? Very well. For the courage of her heart, which I saw face down the greatest horrors I know without breaking. For the high and hungry intelligence of her mind, which never stops asking questions, nor thinking about the answers. For the spark of her spirit, which could teach bonfires how to burn. That's three. Enough for going on with. All this is set beside me, and you ask me instead if I want dirt? I do not understand farmers.
Nightmare Fuel: Not gonna lie, the malices are pretty terrifying. In-universe, ectopic pregnancies are this for Dag.
