* ValuesDissonance: The lyrics "If I can't have her, I'll take her and make her" from "I Want Action" comes across as more than a little rapey by modern-day standards.

* FoeYay: Some people pair Poison with Aelthar. It may be because Aelthar is kind enough to grant her an audience when she demands to have her sister back, despite her being human. Or it may be because Poison was genuinely horrified by his death.

** Finding [[spoiler:Aelthar and the Hierophant's deaths. They are never shown on screen, but the idea behind them is terrifying. Aelthar's is even more gruesome. His corpse is in a chair, his skin is deathly pale and spiders are crawling out of his parted lips. (Shudder)]]

* NightmareFuel: Well, the book ''does'' feature horror elements.
** Maeb's dogs' deaths. Wooding spent entire paragraph detailing the effects of the poisoned bones, including the spasms, bloody foam, and wheezing. It doesn't really help that Poison acts so nonchalant about it either.
