Critique on accents and special characters for slanted font

This is my first font. It's a handwritten script font called Gentle Hands. After receiving feedback on another post about my accents being too far left, I researched and tried to find guidelines for where exactly an accent should be placed over a letter. I set a slanted guideline at 67º which is the Glyphs slant angle of most of my letters. I placed the guideline over the visual center of each letter and centered the accent over that guideline so that its placement continues the slant of the letter. Sometimes deciding where the visual center of certain letters should be was challenging. I also received suggestions that the Thorn is rather plain compared to the other letters. I'm assuming the thorn fits in but the Thorn needs to be addressed. I'm mostly interested in feedback on the accent placements. Thank you!
