!! Tropes found in White Blood are:
* BloodMagic: All human blood has power, whether drawn from living or dead. Anyone can use this power, but the common people are not taught more than the simple spell to cleanse spilled blood of its power.
* DoomedHometown: Not all of Ralo goes down in the fire, but Maryn's home and those of her friends do.
* TheDragon: Vinhor to Carlich.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Edrich, Tior, and Vinhor.
* EvilUncle/TheEvilPrince: Carlich.
* ExactWords: Maryn exploits this as her main strategy for defying Carlich.
* FeministFantasy: Breasts are shown nonsexually, although their use in sex is discussed. Most of the royal family is annoyed that Princess Voerell is not in the line of succession. Queens are allowed in at least one neighboring country. Maryn has no replacement LoveInterest for her husband, who dies at the beginning.
* TheGoodKing: King Froethych.
* InfantImmortality: Ruthlessly averted.
* InfractionDistraction: Carlich disguises the earlier parts of his scheme as simple attempts to offend Dolia and Marolan.
* ShownTheirWork: The author is a member of La Leche League; everything cited about birth and breastfeeding is accurate, particularly Maryn's struggles with Barilan's latch, a fairly common problem. Her solution is real.
