* SequelGap: ''Silverborn'''s release date was announced as 28-September-2022 - this was longer than the gap between ''Hollowpox'' and ''Nevermoor''. It was then delayed by a year. And then another year. Jessica Townsend has not discussed the second delay at all.

Family Unfriendly Death is a gruesome death in a children's story. Since we never see Mildmay die, he doesn't qualify.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Mildmay has repeatedly defied the sociopath villain and is last seen cowering away from his unstoppable murder-army. He is [[MisspellingOutLoud D.E.D. dead]], but because we don't see the body, the fandom somehow thinks he might be alive.

The Free State is safer for minorities than most of the world, but has strict anti-immigration laws, even in cases of life or death. At the start of the series, Jupiter smuggles Morrigan into the Free State with the help of a sympathetic border control officer, but she's then hounded by Flintlock, a BigotWithABadge who's extremely xenophobic and determined to deport her. Even though she's a child with nowhere else to go, and will be ''murdered'' if she's sent back to the Wintersea Republic. The "closed border" policies of the Free State and those prejudiced against immigrants are [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything deliberate echoes of anti-immigration laws in the real world]], and a very pointed TakeThat to boot.

* AscendedFridgeHorror: In the first book, it's mentioned that the only Magnificats Morrigan ever saw in the Republic were docile and silent, used to pull President Wintersea's carriage. As a result, she's startled by the independent and very talkative Fenestra. The next books make it clear that the treatment of Magnificats in the Republic is no less than the enslavement and systemic abuse of a sentient, intelligent species, with cubs being kidnapped and mutilated before being sold on the black market, and Morrigan is nearly physically sick when she realizes the true horror of what everyone in the Republic accepts as perfectly normal. [[spoiler:''Hollowpox'' reveals that President Wintersea herself is a monstrous bigot against Wunimals, casting her ownership of Magnificats in an even worse light.]]

* DudeNotFunny: The Black Parade is full of spooky floats and costumes, and it's all in good fun. However, when one float portrays the Wundersmith, people are ''not'' amused, with many children finding it genuinely frightening and the adults all agreeing it's too far. The Wundersmith is a known SerialKiller and war criminal who is thought to still be alive somewhere, so it's definitely in poor taste, at the very least.
