The Paige Workshop has successfully won the right to provide sugar candy for the First Holy Festival, but the real challenge has only just begun―making all the candy before time runs out. In a stroke of luck, Anne secures a castle with suitable room to serve as their workspace, only to discover upon arrival that it is in ruins and plagued by ghosts! Meanwhile, Bridget turns up on the arm of a beautiful and mysterious fairy, who Challe believes is more than he appears. As problems arise left and right, will Anne and the other candy crafters meet their increasingly impossible deadline…?
If you enjoyed the anime, you really ought to read the novels, because there are so many more details. This volume covers the first half of the Lafalle storyline, and it's Noah's part in it is even more bittersweet. Trust me, that's a good thing.
I really loved this book. It's so nice that the characters get some space to breathe. I mean I know they got a work deadline to work with so they're not TOTALLY taking things easy, but at least everyone is free again (or at least the main cast is)
Plus we get to meet Noah! <3 I liked the extra bits in this book that show more of his relationship with Herbert.
Each volume continues to melt my heart with the chemistry between Anne and Challe. We have some endearing moments that the anime left out from this volume so it's an amazing supplement to the anime
