  • Moral Event Horizon:
    • Carcy, Sols long distance love interest in the first book, crosses this when he attempts to force Sol into having sex with him despite the fact the wolf is clearly uncomfortable and doesn't give consent, turning the moment into a near rape experience.
    • Jean, who was Nikis love interest during his lifetime (shown in an ebook Sol reads and in the dreams), crossed it when he murdered the fox and attempted to hide his body by dumping it in a river. The aforementioned ebook Sol reads basically sums up his Lack of Empathy for his action, as Jean also tries to subtly downplay the action by writing Niki in a more terrible light than he really was.
  • Tear Jerker: Alexei's sister was murdered by some guy pretending he was going to help her get to America.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Konstantine is depicted as some of a tragic Anti-Villain, shaped into what he was by his harsh life in late 19th century/early 20th century Siberianote . However, when we're given examples of several of his contemporaries that grew up in similar conditions and still ended up far more admirable people - including a fellow soldier he betrayed - all empathy points the audience has go down the drain and it's not hard to simply see him as a bigoted, conservative-even-for-his-epoch asshole.
