i took some main character names from my name that apprentice, so here's the credits for that:

hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the third and final book of my eternal series, anemone! i'd planned out the entire series, but i never thought i'd actually get around to finishing it, since i always run out of motivation halfway through, so this is just such a huge moment for me!

quick question, i'm super curious, who's your favorite pov to read from? i know from a lot of comments that mintberry seems to be the favorite character, but in terms of actual plot events, i enjoyed writing from snakestar's pov more! what do you guys think?

anyway, with all that said, this is book 3, so if you haven't read book 1 or 2 yet, i'd advise you go take a look at those first! it'll make the plot easier to follow and hopefully create a more enjoyable reading experience!

really quickly, i just wanted to mention that chapter 1 starts off with a time skip from the last chapter of primrose! a lot of change has happened in between, and it'll definitely seem confusing at first, but i promise everything will be explained! please just stick with it!

overall, thank you all so, so much for reading the eternal series and giving it a chance <3 i've been working on those plots for years now, so it means the world to me! happy reading!
