As Anne gets ready to open a sugar candy workshop with Keith, she receives a mysterious summons to the royal castle. There, she and a group of first-rate candy crafters discover that if they promise to keep the details under wraps, they will be allowed to complete a project for the queen herself, one that entails learning secret candy crafting techniques. But why all the confidentiality? What mysteries and trials await Anne on her first trip to the castle?
After watching the anime, I had to keep reading. I would've given the book 5 stars if Anne and Challe didn't have such bad communication. They never once communicated normally with each other, always somehow avoiding each other, which really frustrated me, especially since I didn't get enough of the two of them in the anime. I hope the next book focuses more on their relationship.
The plot twist was just insane btw. I'm really excited to see how the plot twist will play out and impact the rest of the story.
Anyway, I definitely recommend the book if you liked the anime. Can't wait to read volume 8 in June 🤗
I love this book series, it is cute and everything can be solved by crafting/eating silver sugar candy, if the world was this simple it would be marvelous! I hated the entire miscommunication between Challe and Anne and after reading the Afterword I was like "Keith could have done what?!" I would love to see the unedited version because that almost gave me a heart attack. It is an easy and lovely read, 100% recommended

First of all Love this book with my whole heart! HOWEVER I feel like every single time that Anne and Challe make any progress on FINALLY telling one another how they feel it’s always interrupted by someone!! I almost threw the book across my room when Keith proposed to Anne! Challe was FINALLY going to tell her how he felt and Keith just ruined everything!!! Also no offense to Mithril, but if that dude interrupts Challe one more time when he is trying to tell Anne he loves her, I am going to die!! Still love the book. Can’t wait for the next one!
Finally!! I've been waiting with bated breath for this ever since the last episode of the anime ended!!
This book managed to squash all of my pet theories, violently swoosh them off the table, and give me something much better. It is my favorite in the series so far!
