Another thing that makes its appearance on that day in Crossroads, a silver watch from a curiosity shop, turns out to be indispensible in book 5.And a dagger Vhalla buys on the same day, with Daniel's help, finds its use in book 3.In book 2, a dagger that Daniel buys in Crossroads to wear hidden on the leg, turns out to be very useful a few days later in the fight against the Northerners.
Blow You Away: Vhalla's powers of the air include conjuring a tornado. Following the makeover at the hands of servants, not to mention a tailor-made dress, she turns out to be stunning. Beautiful All Along: Vhalla is not very feminine, likes wearing leggings and a tunic, never makes up and has trouble with her frizzy hair. You should never pour alcohol (or compatible, we don't know what it was) into a wound, only clean water should be used for that. Artistic Licence Medicine: When tending to Vhalla's wounds, prince Baldair pours something stinging over the deepest one. And Vhalla, a lowly apprentice, has her own room. And yet the palace has running water, hot and cold (there is a mention of aqueducts but they would not be enough to bring water to higher levels of the palace), there is a well-known fashion designer Chater with his own store and branded boxes for his wares, Vhalla's maternal grandparents worked at a post office and the servants' dining room looks like a modern-day canteen, complete with trays and a window to bring dirty plates to. Anachronism Stew: The world is ostensibly medieval, with very strictly enforced class system, a ruling family with almost absolute power, swords and bows (and magic) as main weapons, horses as main means of transport, torches and candles as the main source of light, as well as parchment instead of paper and no printing press. Altar Diplomacy: By the end of Earth's End, North agrees to surrender, as long as Aldrik marries their Chieftain's daughter. Alliterative Title: All book titles in the series. The series gives examples of the following tropes: And then, one night she happens to save the life of the mysterious crown prince Aldrik - and learns that she is in fact a sorcerer. She lives a quiet and boring life with other library apprentices and her only passion is reading.
