‘’Sephro’’, by Kate Quinn, was published in 2011 on Amazon. It’s a story about how the Power of Love conquers everything, set to the backdrop of Space Opera. The story takes place from a variety of perspectives, most notably from Sephron gaean (or girl) Craela, and her love Cryss, who meet in the astral plane. A notable case of Four Lines, All Waiting, and a fantasy version of Gratuitous Foreign Language.

Chekhov's Gun: It says in the opening descriptions that Craela has had a dark event in her past, and being afflicted by a Tamaearni Snake will remind her of said attack.

Gratuitous Foreign Language: The Fantasy Version. The author actually advises people to look in the back of the book, for definitions of words such as ‘Lor’, ‘Nored’, ‘Zoombah’, ‘Drere Birds’, and ‘Questioning’.

comment
Idiot Ball: Most notable is Crystonian, a loving father to his son Cryss and stepdaughter Lorianna. And as a loving father, after Lorianna turns evil, and runs away into the forest, he shrugs, and, instead of helping her, completely abandons her, saying she’ll have to go to some mental hospital.

Double Standard: Lorianna firmly believes that the human race should not kill animals, and that anyone who harms animals is a plague on society. This is usually brought up whenever she’s defending her sacrificing of animals.

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Two-Thirds of the way into the book, Craela gains the magical power to shoot lightning from her hands. Out of nowhere. Off Camera. And it said she had the power the whole time.

Four Lines, All Waiting: The Destroy The World Plot is set aside for personal values, which is set aside for character relationships, which is set aside for exposition and explanation, which is set aside for the Destroy The World Plot. The only thing that goes anywhere is the destroy the world plot, and only then in the last forty or so pages.
