While I'm at added scenes, I love that we saw what Zofie did. I got the impression that the steam was more prominent here, and it didn't bother me, there was an added scene that was really cool. This book also jumps around a lot less than the first, so there is some continuity (but if you're new to the series I'd still say read Persephone's PoV before this since it could potentially get confusing). I almost didn't feel like she regressed in her confidence/powers, but it was still evident, just to a lesser degree. Likewise, in Persephone's PoV she was a lot more annoying than seeing her in Hades's PoV now. That was honestly a blast, and makes this book better than A Touch of Ruin too. This was fixed in the second novel, and we got to see a lot more of Hades on his own (or behind the scenes if you will). The thing that bugged me with the first Hades book, is that it felt like the exact same book as A Touch of Darkness just from a different PoV.which is exactly what it was.
