She makes a lot of assumptions about Hades claiming she knows him while also proclaiming that she knows nothing about him aside from the fact that he cares for her. Persephone’s character took a few steps forward in the last novel, but she took like 100 steps back in this one as she came across as an extremely selfish individual where she is right and no one else’s opinion matters. However, to me, it fell flat as I expected more based on the first novel. There are subplots featuring Persephone still getting used to her powers, a deal with Apollo, and a huge incident involving her best friend, Lexa, but the main driving force seemed to be the two main characters not properly communicating with each other resulting in multiple fights and make-ups. Additionally, Persephone is still concealing her divinity and wants to be her own individual and not just Hades’ girlfriend. Unfortunately, it is not smooth sailing as Persephone now is in the media spotlight and the two of them are navigating the obstacles that come with being with each other, including Demeter who wants to break the two of them up and keep Persephone with her. A Touch of Ruin takes place soon after A Touch of Darkness ended with Hades and Persephone now a couple.
