I thought Venus's character was very interesting in the first part of this part. She is absolutely furious that her own son would betray her. Again, the descriptive words are used well. Ine one line, it reads that Psyche "drenched the goddess's feet with a flood of tears". I wonder how the story might be different if Venus hadn't become so upset and allowed her son to be happy with Psyche. The loyalty between Hera and Venus is apparently very strong. Again, another thing I might change in my story. The ant part of the story definitely reminded me of Cinderella and was a nice touch in an otherwise heavy scene. I liked that the animals, plants, and even gods were willing to help her. I want to keep those characters to give Psyche some friends in Venus's palace.
The instructions given by the turret for her final mission are a bit on the long side. I would shorten it, if I were to keep that in.
We finally see how the story ties in with the main character, which I like a lot. Sadly, the rest of the story was in another book, but I did like the allusion and lesson the girl learned from the old woman's story.
