The search for fairies to be trained as candy crafters has begun, and Anne must gauge the candidates' abilities. But the enslaved fairies are full of mistrust toward humans and refuse to cooperate. Will Anne and the others have to abandon their plans altogether? Meanwhile, Mithril is acting strange and won't tell Anne or Challe the reason no matter how much they press him. Could their friend be in some kind of danger?
I've been avoiding this book because of a worry about cliffhangers, but I realized that was silly because I think I've heard enough spoilers by now to not be too traumatized when they show up. (unlike the end of the first half of the anime)
This is another really great one! I love that we get to meet more fairies. And see Noah again!
