 Crescent City / int_3fbbe6ad
comment
Power Tattoo: Inverted with the halos tattooed on Fallen angels, which actually limit their power. Hunt's tattoo only allows him to access about 10% of his total power. A straight example is Bryce's back tattoo - it was inked using witch-ink and Luna's Horn ground into a powder. This makes her the bearer of the Horn, meaning only she can wield it and therefore open the rifts between worlds.

comment
Doorstopper: All three books are pretty hefty, with all of them being over 700 pages long; House of Earth and Blood is 816 pages, House of Sky and Breath is 768 pages and House of Flame and Shadow is 848 pages. Usually with Maas' books, the first few novels are shorter and the page count doesn't balloon until later installments, although Crescent City is her first series aimed explicitly at an adult demographic rather than young adult, so that could explain the increased length.

Corporal Punishment: One of the ways an angel is punished is by having their wings cut off. They do grow back, but the process is excruciating and takes weeks.

Immortality Seeker: Almost all beings with the potential to have an incredibly long lifespan make the Drop, which allows them to "drop" into near-immortality. This grants them enhanced healing and regenerative abilities as well as an extended lifespan.

Theme Naming: Each book in the series is titled House of X and Y, with the X referring to a natural element and the Y usually referring to something essential for life (with the exception of the third book's title). The first is House of Earth and Blood, the second is House of Sky and Breath and the third is House of Flame and Shadow.
