- Anvilicious: "There are always choices." The theme about survival and overcoming addiction in Ink Exchange as well. These are arguably examples of Tropes Are Tools.
- Fan Community Nicknames: Lovelies. Members of the fan forum are Rathers. Yes, it does lead to jokes about being 'rather lovely'.
- Foe Yay Shipping: Some in the fandom ship together Bananach/Niall.
- Heartwarming Moments: When Niall forgives Irial. Actually, the entire second half of Stopping Time. And pretty much any other Nirial moment.
- Moral Event Horizon: Bananach crosses it in Radiant Shadows, when she kills Tish.
- Nightmare Fuel: What you get when you think too hard about the Dark Court's activities in Ink Exchange.
- Bananach is also a source.
- No Yay: Think too much about how Beira acts towards Donia in the first book and you could be squicked out.
- One True Threesome: Irial/Niall/Leslie, Ani/Devlin/Rae.
- Portmanteau Couple Name: Nirial, for Niall/Irial.
- Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Keenan, to many readers after reading Darkest Mercy.
- The Scrappy: Keenan, especially after all that he does to Leslie, Niall and Aislinn in the series. However, see the bullet point right above.
- The Woobie: Niall, Leslie, Donia. Keenan is a massive one in Darkest Mercy.
- Iron Woobie: Donia.
- Jerkass Woobie/Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Keenan, although YMMV.
