* DeliberateValuesDissonance: The more compassionate characters feel ''sympathetic'' to abused wives, but everyone ignores the law's part in enabling such abuse. In their view it's entirely expected that a husband should have total control over his wife, and if the husband a woman gets happens to be abusive- well, she's just unlucky. It's not a big enough problem that the police should get involved.
* CommonalityConnection: When Angelique converses with Baktiari, a Persian diplomat, she finds that many things are different in his country- but not politicians. For example, he immediately recognizes what she means by a ruler's "favorite [consort]".
* Determinator: Angelique. ''Nothing'' gets her down for long- not the death of her husband(s), not being reduced to abject poverty, not being kidnapped. She craves success, especially when she can rub it in the faces of her rivals.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The English translation of the series is incomplete, and existing volumes of it are out of print.
* OneTrueLove: Angelique has loved many men before and after Joffrey, but they're nothing in comparison to him. When she finds out that Joffrey's still alive, she immediately and unrepentantly abandons a ''king's'' love to run off in search of him.
