Loved the Devotion to the northern accents and colloquialisms, it's nice to hear my own voice being represented.
This book is complicated and i love that about it. It's hard not to read it through a feminist lens, Devon is given the ability to question her rights and privileges, we can see her perspective and tone shift each time she moves and gains more access to knowledge and understanding, eventually giving herself the vocabulary to criticise it.
I wish I got to see more of Salem though. I though she was largely forgotten about after Kai until her mention a the very end. It felt like a loose tie.
