An epic [[Space Opera]] by [[Margaret Weis]], not so known as her other works, co-written together with Tracy Hickman. The first book was published in 1990, the fourth one in 1993. The series consists of four subsequent volumes:
Line 74 ⟶ 73:
* [[I Am Who?]]: Dion Starfire, especially in Book 1.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: John Dixter.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Xris the cyborg, a cynical mercenary who still loves his wife even though he thinks she dumped him when he became a cyborg.
* [[Kill the Ones You Love]]: Sagan {{spoiler|had to kill Maigrey in order to rid her of the [[Fate Worse Than Death]].}}
* [[Lady of War]]: Lady Maigrey is a perfect example.
Line 120 ⟶ 119:
* [[Starfish Aliens]]: the Corasians. They are red glowing blobs which feed on raw energy and use [[Mini-Mecha]] to get around. Shooting them with lasguns just makes them stronger unless you [[Reverse the Polarity]].
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Sagan
{{quote| '''Sagan:''' “I realize that thinking does require an extraordinary amount of effort for you, Aks. Perhaps you could pay attention to me now and think later.”}}
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Kamil Olefsky and Queen Astarte.
* [[Tomboy Princess]]: Maigrey was this as a child.
** Kamil is as well, though Bear Olefsky's domain only includes the planet he lives on.
* [[Trial Byby Combat]]: Maigrey and Sagan in the first book.
* [[Troubled Backstory Flashback]]: for Maigrey, though with her and Sagan being mind-linked it counts for both of them.
* [[The Unfavourite]]: Platus' and Maigrey's father despised his firstborn son for becoming a peace-loving bookworm instead of a [[Badass]].
