- Inspiration for the Work: The author acknowledged being inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender.
- Sequel Gap: The third book, Children of Anguish and Anarchy, took a long time to come out compared to the previous novels; Children of Blood and Bone came out in March 2018, Children of Virtue and Vengeance (which ended on a Cliffhanger) came out over year later in December 2019, while after years of no news it was eventually announced in 2023 that Anguish and Anarchy would be released in June 2024, nearly a full five years after the second book.
- Similarly Named Works: The first book is one word off Nora Roberts' fantasy novel Of Blood and Bone, which was also published in 2018. There was actually a bit of controversy over this, as Tomi Adeyemi publicly accused Roberts of copying her book's title. Roberts responded that this was purely a coincidence, as she'd come up with the title and submitted her manuscript to her publisher a year before Adeyemi's book was published; Adeyemi later apologized to Roberts after clearing things up with her, although Roberts later stated some fans continued to harass her for 'plagiarism'.
- What Could Have Been: The film adaptation was originally going to be produced by 20th Century Fox, then by Lucasfilm when Fox was purchased by Disney. But it went into Development Hell, particularly due to disputes with author Tomi Adeyemi as she wanted to write the screenplay, and eventually the rights were sold to Paramount.
