* IWantThemAlive: Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi reminds Jedi Knights Iskat, Tualon, and Sunghi to take General Grievous alive if they manage to find him on Frong, a world in the Outer Rim he and his Battle Droid minions destroyed. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that while Grievous and his army WERE present on the world, he was nowhere to be found, since it was part of a bigger ploy to lure out as many Jedi as possible to be killed by their Clones when Order 66 went down, with Sunghi being one of their victims.]] [[ForegoneConclusion Plus, Grievous himself was already defeated by Obi-Wan on Utapau]].

* KilledOffscreen: Adi Galla suffers this [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS5E1Revival because of Savage Opress]] by the book's 25th chapter, which also takes place around the 3rd and final year of the war. [[spoiler:Later, many Jedi such as Mace Windu, in addition to General Grievous himself, also suffer this in the context of ''Revenge of the Sith''.]]

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Iskat takes a page from Anakin's book in reckless strategies during the mission on Thule, that, while it may get some Clones killed or in danger of being killed, actually gets results faster than normal planning would do, as we seen in ''The Clone Wars'' multiple times. Of course, unlike Anakin, who has praises from various Jedi (Such as Obi-Wan, despite his initial misgivings, praised Anakin for his cleverness in certain tough spots such as [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsS2E16CatAndMouse getting past Admiral Trench's blockade of Christophsis, while defeating the Admiral himself]]) and the Clones under his command like Rex, once Iskat and Tualon return to Coruscant with the full report on their mission, Masters Adi Galla and Yoda reprimand them for their reckless actions, since [[NiceJobBreakingItHero it forced the Separatists to be more careful in the security measures of their various droid factories across the Galaxy]]. [[FromBadToWorse On top of that, there were civilians under that factory who were murdered]]. While Iskat snapped that the civilians on Thule could've been Separatists like the Genosians, Galla and Yoda tell her that civilians, even if they were working for the Separatists in managing their droid factories, affiliation with them didn't matter since civilians were innocent regardless of what side of the war they're on.

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Iskat completely loses herself to the dark side; turning away multiple chances to stop the path she's on. In the end, she dies unredeemed at the hands of Vader for feeling love towards a fellow inquisitor]].

* UnseenNoMore: After a mention by Senator Rethalow in "[[Literature/AftermathEmpiresEnd Empire's End]]", the planet of Frong is finally seen, with General Grievous sighted there.

** Iskat violently attacked 2 Jedi Padawans just for mentioning her incident with Tika, similar to Anakin hovering 2 Padawans' lightsabers over their heads when they mentioned him being a slave to his emotions during ''[[ComicBook/StarWarsObiWanAndAnakin Obi Wan and Anakin]]''.

* ForegoneConclusion: We know from the ''[[ComicBook/DarthVaderDarkLordOfTheSith Dark Lord of the Sith]]'' comic series that Iskat and Tualon Yaluna will both fall to the Dark Side and become Inquisitors, with the book showing how that happens.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Iskat comes across Charlin Plaka, a Jedi Knight who survived Order 66 along with Jedi Master Klefan Opus, but was captured on the planet of Firrhana and imprisoned there without any contact, save for a droid who brings her food. Iskat mocks the Jedi Knight for always bullying her during her days as a Jedi and for sticking to the obsolete teachings of the nearly dead Jedi Order.

* MythologyGag: During the mission to hunt down 2 Jedi on the planet of Firrhana, Iskat disguises a Purge Trooper as a captured Jedi, a reference to the cut disguised Clone Troopers from ''Revenge of the Sith''.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Iskat Akaris wishes to be a part of the Jedi's effort to preserve democracy and freedom during the Clone Wars rather than be a librarian at Jocasta Nu's suggestion. The Jedi Council send her on her first mission in the war on Thule, which she undertakes with Jedi General Josk and fellow Jedi Knight Tualon Yluna to destroy a Separatist Droid Factory, which becomes very hectic when it's discovered that there was a [[spoiler:Sith temple on the planet. That's not even adding into the fact that it was supposed to be a stealth mission, but the destruction of the droid factory caused by Iskat using a thermal detonator to prevent its safety features from overriding the initial sabotage she did by turning the panel all the way up also hurt civilians below the factory, landing Iskat in trouble with Adi Galla and Yoda, [[ReassignedToAntartica who punish her by teaching the Jedi Code to Younglings, as well as mediation lessons for 2 years]].]]

* CommonalityConnection: A recurring subplot throughout the novel is Iskat bonding with Heezo, a Selonian in the Jedi Temple who worked on various droids such as Mouse droids and LEP servant droids, telling him about her frustrations with the Jedi Order while he tells her about various stuff going on throughout the Clone Wars, such as General Grievous, in addition to mentioning the Dark Side here and there. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that Heezo is one of Palpatine's spies in the Jedi Temple, since Heezo himself failed his Jedi trails.]]

* PetTheDog: Palpatine, in a rare moment of compassion towards a soon to be ex Jedi, has Captain Spider and his men spare Iskat during Order 66 and merely arrest her instead of shooting her on sight, so she can be taken to Courscant for her to seek answers about her species, the Pkorian, as well as her [[spoiler:mother Feyra.]]

* SoMuchForStealth: The mission on Thule was for Iskat, Tualon, and Josk to stealthily deactivate the droid factory on the planet since there barley any droids present, but due to the alarms alerting the Battle Droid battalion to Iskat and Tualon's presence, they fight and barely accomplish their mission.

** Iskat tries to look for information on Feyra in the Jedi Archives, only to find the information is gone, similar to Obi-Wan looking for intel on Kamino during ''Attack of the Clones''. Both Jedi even ask Jocasta Nu about why the information was deleted, though unlike Jocasta's stern insisting that Kamino does not exist (unaware that [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTalesOfTheJedi Dooku used Sifo-Dyas's access codes to delete all information on the planet]]), she reacts with alarm to the possibility of something having been deleted, no doubt weary of further security breaches after Obi-Wan's investigation concluded the archive had been tampered with before.
