I'm pretty sure they added the character of the woman who dies mid-TF in order to illustrate what Elena avoided. I don't recall her being in the book, in fact I think that entire chapter was very different.

In the book there's no abandoned factory, it takes place in a parking garage, and the transformation completes, tearing all her clothes off in the process. I don't know why the huge change in scenery or the huge jump to making it a partial TF that she wills to stop and reverse. In the book it's not a huge deal to reverse a transformation once it's started, she lets it finish because it would take longer to go back than forward because she'd crossed the halfway point.

From all the differences I'm thinking it will very soon have nothing to do with the book continuity, and way well skip ahead to elements of later books. The entire "Stolen" book might be compressed down to two episodes and finish the series at this rate.

There were only like three clothed transformations in the series, and it looks like they're not going to be doing them. Maybe it was an issue with the effects, tearing clothes is more a practical effect traditionally and they're going heavy on CG for that. I know tearing clothes can easily be done with CG but maybe they don't know how or didn't think they could so they change the whole story around that limitation... I dunno. I guess I'm just saying that I'd wish they had stuck closer to the source material.
