"Devotion, aptly named, is a testament to the power of love and loyalty between two souls. It is a song in honor of love, in it’s all-consuming force, it’s haunting strength, it’s formless wonder. Gorgeously written, this flows with emotions that dwell in the very core of our hearts. This novel spoke to the side of me that is deeply sentimental and romantic. May we all have a love that lives beyond what we know to be possible. "

"I loved this book when I first started reading it. The writing is lovely, I was really into it until I got to the second part of the book. Then it went downhill for me and didn’t recover. Not into magic realism I guess. "
