I haven't said anything about it despite this break having started quite a while ago, but since I've been working diligently on Eden's First Daughter, I have taken a break from working on REVIVE. I intend to complete that book and give the THRIVE series the finale it deserves, but I think that it will be best to do it when I'm more focused and not dividing my time between another series I've become incredibly passionate about.
On the subject of Eden's First Daughter, book one is nearly complete, and at this rate (considering I write for nearly six to eight hours a day), it should be done by the end of this week. I said in the commentary chapter 24.5 that there would be a sequel, but here I am officially announcing it again in case anyone missed it; Lilith and her friends will return in book two, Heaven's Cursed Goddess. The outline for book two has been done since August 19 and has been getting minor edits along the way, but it's ready and I'm excited to jump into it. Along with that, the other night after multiple unsatisfying attempts, I finally drew cover art that I am actually satisfied with. There will be a short hiatus between the end of book one and the start of book two, I'll probably write the first five to ten chapters and make sure I'm satisfied with how it opens before releasing it, and send more chapters than usual out right at the start. But in the meantime, I'll potentially post updates on progress here or on Twitter, so follow me if you haven't yet. I post original art there regularly, so it's worth a peek. https://x.com/GingerSnaps528
Anyway, I have a book to finish, so I'll see you on the other side. And to those who have been enjoying the story enough to make it this far, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for reading I'm gonna get this thing to an actual publisher if it kills me.
