Set primarily in the fictional country of Ravka, there is a form of magic that exists known as "[[SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic The Small Science]]." Those who can wield it are called ''[[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual Grisha]],'' powerful practitioners considered to be a part of an exclusive class. Those who do not possess this power are called ''[[{{Muggles}} Otkazat'sya]],'' and function normally as shopkeepers, laborers and soldiers.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: The Darkling has this appeal for Alina, encouraged by her belief that Mal has forgotten about her. [[spoiler:She comes to despise him after the events of the first book, [[EvilIsSexy but a very strong attraction is still clearly there.]]]]

**Russian surnames are gendered so it should be Alina Starkova, not Starkov. Likewise, Illya Morozova (a man) should be referred to as Illya Morozov.

Moving cut What An Idiot entry that lacked the proper formatting here.

Added DiffLines:

* StupidEvil: Once the Darkling has captured Alina and Mal and put the antler collar on the former, he then decides to execute the latter as punishment for his deserting the First Army and for Alina defying him (and also possibly because he's jealous of the affection the two have for each other)...despite the fact that keeping Mal ''alive'' would guarantee Alina's cooperation and good behaviour. His throwing Mal to the volcra just gives Alina the impetus she needs to break free from his control and ruin his plans.

** At the end of ''Rule Of Wolves'' Nikolai muses that he and [[spoiler:the Darkling had pretty much the same goal, trying to be Ravka's salvation; and he has the potential to go the same way as his nemesis if he doesn't take steps to right his course. He also mourns the young man that the Darkling once was, who was very similar to Nikolai himself in believing he could accomplish anything if only he was clever, strong and brave enough.]]
** One of the main things The Darkling uses to try to convince Alina they belong together is pointing out how similar they are.
