Trivia

• The only other book with an animus's perspective is the Legends book Darkstalker (Legends), with Darkstalker and Prince Fathom. This is the first main series book that has the PoV of an animus.
• On the cover, Turtle is missing his armband, which contains the skyfire rocks that prevent Moon from reading his mind. He may possibly lose it in this book.
• On the cover, Turtle's phosphoric lights are blue, but in the book they are described to give off a greenish light.
• On the cover, Turtle's royal wing patterns, as well as Tsunami's on the cover of The Lost Heir, are not visible, perhaps because of the sunlight being brighter than the glow stripes.
• Talons of Power is the longest mainseries book with 336 pages (24 more pages than The Brightest Night, and 48 more pages than Escaping Peril).
• Talons of Power is the first book in the second arc to have a title not including the main character's name.
• On the cover, Turtle has an underbelly that is blue, even though the rest of his body is green. This could be a SeaWing trait or a royal genetic as Tsunami also has a lighter blue color on her underbelly on The Lost Heir front cover.
