The last few chapters are essentially epilogues and finishing up the romantic arcs.]]

Added DiffLines:

** The chapters after the battle in the desert can feel like wham shots after wham shots. [[spoiler: Dani and Dorian’s dad is killed in battle, their mom kills Monika’s parents in revenge, and then their mom kidnaps Dani.]] Finally, the arc wraps up with probably the most heartbreaking moment yet: [[spoiler: Dani’s mental breakdown after she believes Dorian was killed, leading her to becoming the Queen of Witches.]]

** Then there’s William, Monica, and Damian. William and Monica have been engaged since childhood [[spoiler: and they choose to go forward with it after the time-skip, but purely for political purposes as Monica needs both the people’s and the royal army’s support in case her plans to save Dani go wrong.]] As for Damian, [[spoiler: it’s confirmed he has feeling for William that go beyond friendship, but he chooses to be okay with that because of the circumstances of William’s engagement.]] And William...Yeah, no one knows what’s going on there.

Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler: The ambiguousness on Damian’s end is dropped in Chapter 159 where he outright states that he loves William. The issue is on William’s end as he can’t seem to distinguish between his royal duties and what he actually wants.]]


Added DiffLines:

** Dani is an interesting case where this trope is used ''negatively.'' She starts of the series being the most optimistic of the twins and the most eager to befriend humans. [[spoiler: Unfortunately after the time-skip happens, Dani’s been through so many BreakTheCutie moments that she’s barely recognizable as the new Queen of the Witches.]]

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Early chapters portray William as resilient and competent against his captors. Monica's memories of him during a flashback show him as much more bumbling and naive, and this characterization seems to have returned by the time he's rescued and stays with him for the rest of the series.
** Master Pendragon is much mellower in earlier chapters, but he loses this fairly quickly once the plot starts to pick up and he shows his true colors.



* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Angela and Hans [[spoiler:Wytte]] are AntiVillains who love their kids. To a lesser extent, Hilde [[spoiler:Wytte]] also loves her family.

* MyGreatestFailure: Several characters blame themselves for awful things that weren't necessarily their fault.
** Damien believes its his fault his mother got burned, even tho he was just a child and had little control over the situation.
** Master Pendragon admits time and time again to [[spoiler: secretly wanting to [[WouldHurtAChild kill the Wytte twins.]] ]] He can never bring himself to do it, and as things grow more complicated, he bemoans that he should have just killed them when he had the chance.

* BreakTheCutie: The entire series is seeing just how much pain and heartbreak Dani and Dorian can go through before they break.

* GreyandGreyMorality: In the witches vs. non-witches conflict, neither is "good" or "evil". They're just two groups of people who've been hurt and hurt others in return. And unfortunately, innocents, witches and non-witches alike, get caught in the crossfire.

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Although Dani and Dorian develop strong friendships and crushes on other characters, they are still the closest to each other, first and foremost. Dani [[spoiler: even goes through SanitySlippage and ends up as an [[TheOphelia Ophelia]] after she thinks she sees Dorian die.]]
* LoveTriangle: Sort of. Nico likes Dani, Dani likes Mark, and Mark...doesn’t like anyone, really.
**Another, even more complicated example: Dorian likes Monica, but Monica is determined to find Will. Once she does find him, however, she realizes she may not be in love with him. And Will...who knows what’s going on there.

* BookDumb: Mark repeated a year of school.
* BurnTheWitch: Currently outlawed, but witches have been burned in the past. [[spoiler:A crowd attempts to burn Dani when she’s mistaken for a witch that had been killing children]].
