* AliensNeverInventedTheWheel: ZigZagged in the first book. At one point when outlining the history of the Blessed to Serve (and, by extension, the Liberated), DuQuesne says that the Minds "went all Literature/{{Frankenstein}}" on them, meaning they TurnedAgainstTheirMasters. Orphan says that "Frankenstein" didn't translate, showing that his people don't have an equivalent to that story nor any that were inspired by it, prompting the humans to give him a synopsis. After a few more minutes, Sandrisson notes that the future Blessed likely did have an equivalent to ''Frankenstein'' at one point in their history, but the Minds purged it after taking over.
