Added DiffLines:

* OddFriendship: Friendship is a stretch, but Kaz has an unexpected amount of respect and compassion towards Wylan, even arguing that his father would still care for him under cover of a bet, and being a little put out when it turns out he's wrong.

Added DiffLines:

* DeliberateValueDissonance
* DirtyCop Several members of the staadwatch are bought out by competing criminal elements.


Added DiffLines:

* Equal-OpportunityEvil Kaz's crew of six includes people of color, two women, several forms of disabilities, and two gay kids. We don't know much more about his other underlings, but from a cursory look at names he has at least several other women hired. Not once in the novel are any abilities questioned due to above characteristics (aside from Wylan's dyslexia in the finale.) There aren't a lot of objectively "good" guys, but the respectable, lawmaking force of Ketterdam seems to be fairly white and male.
*EstablishingCharacterMoment
*FailedASpotCheck Subverted, as this is proof of Big Bollinger's betrayal

* CorruptionOfAMinor So much. They're all so corrupt.
** Particular notice goes to how they corrupt Wylan. By the end of Book 1, rich boy has broken into and out of the most secure prison in the world, drilled through it's floors, destroyed it's gates, flirted, distracted guards, watched gruesome death, engineered a heist, sassed his father, ahapeshifted, and bombed a bridge. Although, he had already been caught having sex with his male tutor and ran away from home, so doubts may be cast on how innocent Wylan really is.
