History YMMV / TheBloodWarTrilogy

* EvilIsSexy: Sultae is a FantasticRacist who despises all other races but certainly doesn't see any reason not to have sex with them when the mood pleases her. All descriptions of her seem to highlight she's a hot elf too.
** Most of this goes away by the second and third books given how completely MENTAL she is.

** [[InsaneAdmiral General Vorrul]] is the brutal warleader of the Grol, dedicated to [[ItsAllAboutMe his own glory and advancement]]. Vorrul obtains powerful weapons known as O'hra, giving the Grol access to magic for the first time. Vorrul [[RapePillageAndBurn obliterates human cities]] he comes across, massacring everyone within the last man, women and child who are used for meat, with Vorrul himself happily [[ImAHumanitarian devouring]] a dozen human [[WouldHurtAChild infants]] as a victory feast. Leading his men to the prized city of Lathah, Vorrul manages to overcome the city where he massacres all left in the walls and attempts to hunt down and murder the survivors, particularly his nemesis, the O'hra wielding human Arrin.

** [[AxCrazy Sultae]], [[TheManBehindTheMan the secret master of Vorrul]], is a powerful Sha'Ree who has grown to believe that [[FantasticRacism any other race beyond the Sha'Ree are an affront to the world]]. Massacring Sha'Ree for disagreeing and happily torturing others for information, Sultae arms the Grol and other violent races with O'hra, intending to have them wipe out any peaceful race before turning them against each other to [[FinalSolution complete the genocides]]. Capturing another Sha'Ree, Sultae tries to [[AdamAndEvePlot force him into being her mate]] via torture and mental manipulation, intending to stop at nothing to complete her annihilation of all she deems below her.

** Sultae crosses it when you discover her reasoning for near-universal genocide is because, well, she was exiled from her people for having a disease. Also, her repeated and brutal torture of both Zahlee as well as rapes of Tyreh.]]

** Most of this goes away by the second and third books [[CompleteMonster given how completely MENTAL she is.]]

* CompleteMonster: The entire Grol race appears to be made of this. Despite the fact they come from the NobleDemon Tolen, the Grol seem to be uniformly ChaoticEvil barbarians who murder and eat anyone who falls into their lap. Their leader? He considers human babies to be a delicacy.
** Uthul declares this in the third book after speaking with her. He decides thereafter there's nothing at all redeemable about her and the only possible way to deal with her is to make her ''gone.''

* MoralEventHorizon: The warlord of the Grol crosses it when he orders all the human babies of a settlement gathered up and presented to him...for dinner.
