* NotSoDifferent: Valtome tries to invoke this on Elincia. It works well to break her facade. She also recurringly wonders if she is becoming like Ashnard.

* NotSoDifferent

* AristocratsAreEvil: Elincia's council of nobles does nothing but cause her trouble. They consistently oppose her reforms, clinging to their old power, and force some of the more heinous situations onto her. [[spoiler:They make her hire Volke to kill Bastian, torture Elincia's advisor Silok for information, and even try to stage a coup where they threaten to burn down the entire capital. Needless to say, Elincia eventually getting rid of them is immensely satisfying, see OutGambitted below.]]

Confronted with that harsh reality, and internally scarred by the event, the (formerly) WideEyedIdealist Queen vows to never let something like that happen again and now faces her duties with the intention of truly becoming a powerful and respected ruler among the Kings of Tellius in order to protect all her subjects, even if it may require sacrificing her own happiness and using ruthlessness, though she only gradually slips into the latter. From then on, the story loosely follows the third act of Radiant Dawn's plot, but Elincia's slow development into a different kind of ruler results in a great many changes to the established events and the story ultimately leaving Radiant Dawn's plotline altogether.

While Elincia is the protagonist of the story and a great deal of importance is given to her thoughts and planning, the story features a switching point of view for characters like Ike, Soren, Micaiah, Sephiran and even Volke. Aside from that, Queen of Sorrow has been compared to ''Anime/CodeGeass'' in style, featuring a past-paced plot following FinaglesLaw, GreyAndBlackMorality, lots of clever politicking and [[MagnificentBastard magnificent bastadry]] courtesy of Elincia's newfound CharacterDevelopment, as well as a rather liberal attitude on [[AnyoneCanDie character death]].
