The flavor of that blood stayed with him through the long years of his service. […] But by then he could no longer remember whose blood it was, only that he had grown used to the taste.
I liked this, despite the fact that (like someone else has mentioned) whiteness is a standard in this book and skin colour is only mentioned when the person isn’t white. But my enjoyment came from the characters Holly Black created (I actually worried about Corny this time) and, of course, the faeries. I hope miss Black writes another book featuring them in the future.
Edit: she is, she is writing another book! 😭
