YMMV can't be played with. One of these tropes isn't YMMV. Fixing indentation.

* MisaimedMarketing: {{Downplayed}} but still present. The paperbacks bear numerous references to ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' and the potential for fandom overlap. While this story is a HighFantasy in the same vein with obvious influence from Jordan's opus, it's a much more concise, fast-paced and self-contained narrative that follows TheLawOfConservationOfDetail and generally avoids a KudzuPlot sprawl.
* NightmareFuel: Echoes. They inhabit corpses and act like the person they used to be, right up until they get an opening to murder you. Even if they fail, they just go ''right back to acting like the dead person''. This means you essentially have to kill something that is, at that moment, non-aggressive and may just be begging for its life.

* HilariousInHindsight: The scenes in the first book where Nihim (who masqueraded as a priest of the Desrielite god Talkanor) and Caeden (who [[spoiler: is really Tal'kamar, the person who the god Talkanor was based on]]) can be entertaining to reread once you've finished the series.
