Argh, that ending - I knew it was coming thanks to the anime adaptation, but it's still a very bitter pill to swallow. But this series continues to be one worth reading even if you've seen the anime, because it goes much deeper into everything and isn't afraid to be more PG-13 than the show's PG.
I also still really don't trust Hugh. I'm not sure what his deal is - is he looking to foster Anne's talent? Something more? His enmity towards Challe is certainly concerning.

Finally the relationship between the heroine and the male lead has reached a point of no return! And I 100% love how the author managed to make it happen! I'm definitely looking forward for the next volume!

Due to a poor harvest of sugar apples, Anne must work at the Radcliffe House (where she has nothing but enemies, except Keith) to refine communal sugar in order to be allowed to make enough of her own sugar for the next candy fair. While working herself to the bone making both communal sugar and sugar for her own personal use, she must somehow come up with a design for her silver sugar sculpture and find the time to make it.
In this volume, we learn a little more about the complicated history between fairies and humans, specifically the relationship between the King of Fairies and the first human king.
This one was a rough read. I think Anne got about 2-3 hours of sleep a night, at best, and the poor girl still had to deal with bullies in addition to everything else.
At times, Challe comes across like a Middle Grade Daemon Sadi (from Anne Bishop's Black Jewels trilogy) - he doesn't care what most humans think about him and he knows how to use his own looks as a weapon. At the same time, he's clueless when it comes to love. He's learning, though. Just maybe not fast enough.
The end of this volume squeezed my heart. Ugh, I want things to work out well for this couple. Okay, so the writing's a bit simplistic, but this is such an addictive series.
Extras:
Black-and-white illustrations throughout, and a short afterword by the author.

This is probably the worst book by far ending in girl hate.
The fact they saw her sculpture BEFORE she broke it and were then like "Well it's broken!" The constant misogyny going on gets a bit overwhelming and then Challe telling Bridget she's "pampered" for wanting to be a candy crafter and having men block her from it.
Now the set up for the next book is getting Challe's wing back, because of course we have to have THAT kind of romantic conflict going on.

I'm pretty sure the silver sugar fairy tale in the name refers to the sweetness of the story, which is dreamlike and comfy like watercolors. Not much else to be said - this series is a light and comfortable read, perfectly balanced to make you want to read how the story progresses for the main protagonists who you can't but cheer for with a smile on your face.
If a light, slow burn and sweet romance is what you are looking for, this series is just the treat to satiate that want.

針對アン的惡意太多，結果差點讓我病起來的一集。
雖然很好看

Alrighty so cliffhangers definitely suck but that’s only because of how amazing this journey has been so far that I can’t bare to wait for more. The translations have stopped here and it’s left with a bitter sweet ending.
The two main leads have finally reached a point in their relationship together where the other depends and trust the other. This though is of course put to the test with many obstacles along the way. I do wish Challe could just escape but that would put his pride on the line. He put down his life on the wager of Anne becoming a sugar master. So the suspense is killing me now

一開始複習《銀砂糖師與白貴公子》有些意興闌珊，我知道這一集在各種意義上安均會經歷各種磨難，一想到這點就有點於心不忍，不過得繼續看下去才能見到安胼手胝足奮鬥出來的甜美果實，可以說是前面有多苦，讀到後面否極泰來的情節，就更能體悟到無上的喜悅，付出的努力能夠獲得一直以來真心渴求的回報——努力磨練而來的精湛技術、憑藉著優異實力創作出來的美麗砂糖菓子受到王室肯定，那感覺真的很令人開心。雖然第三集最後安的生活又被埋下新的炸彈，等她去拆就是了⋯⋯。
安給我的印象一直是幸運和厄運都在生命裡百分百佔據的人，厄運來臨時於她幾乎是會造成滅頂的危機，但安憑藉著刻苦耐勞累積出來的經驗驚險度過每一個波瀾，而過往累積的善緣也會在關鍵時刻拯救她脫離險境。要說安有少女小說主角的威能嗎？我認為是有沒錯，但這個過程她也付出很多心血，真切地遭遇很多磨難。最近接觸的女性向作品常有「女主角看起來沒有很苦啊？周圍的人是不是反應得太誇張，對女主角溺愛過度？」的念頭，但《銀砂糖師系列》我對安完全沒有那種感受，反而覺得「安真的太艱苦了。希望飛、凱特這些業界前輩可以多多關照安的處境，不要讓安被人陷害，讓她未能成長茁壯就被連根拔起，折損一名優秀的砂糖菓子職人。」
安的處境真的很糟糕，作為不依附三大派閥而採取獨立營生的女性砂糖菓子職人，安一方面被處處排擠、輕賤，一方面那些厭惡安的職人其實非常嫉妒安的才華，以及作品受到王室成員賞識的經歷，言行惡毒的他們即使表面否認，其實對安的砂糖菓子製作實力心裡有數，為了排除這位優秀的競爭對手，在安為了取得砂糖林檎而住進拉多庫里夫工房的期間，簡直無所不用其極的搞小動作，中後段那個騙喬納斯去假傳聖旨，意圖要確切毀掉安身為砂糖菓子職人未來的做法看得我七竅生煙。
安的遭遇讓我想起以前在某本書讀到「單純無害的女性會被男性疼愛，能力優秀且能與他們一同在職場競爭的女性則會被男性防備排斥」，覺得第三集就是男性赤裸裸的醜惡心態，刻意抹煞優秀的女性同仁的才華與成果，一方面貶斥安的存在，一方面又對安的才華垂涎欲滴、恨不得她的一切是自己所擁有。這種遭遇某方面真的很真實。不知道為什麼忽然想起之前看過日本大學會竄改女學生的成績，刻意讓考試成果達標的女學生落榜的新聞。幸好，安憑藉著毅力和腳踏實地磨練出來的成果獲得肯定，也慶幸工房和砂糖菓子不是只有小人當道，主事者仍有秉公處理的良心。
安屢次遭逢危機，但多半能夠逢凶化吉，雖然有來自上位者如飛、國王、王妃的支持，但這些緣分並不是平白獲得，是更早之前安認真面對每一份危機和考驗後，用真材實料獲得他們的肯定，方能夠將危機扭轉為轉機，成為日後安再度遇到危機時，能夠幫助她的力量。看到這裡，會覺得三川美里是不是也是腳踏實地做好每一件本分的信奉者？所以才編排出安勇往直前的性格，也拒絕輕易仰賴外力來比較簡單地克服考驗，讓她面臨種種難關不畏懼也不得逃避的情境，同時讓安堂堂正正接下挑戰後，能夠收穫甜美果實。這也是一種傳達支持上天不負苦心人的信念吧。
相較之下，嫉妒他人而搞小動作的職人，不僅沒有獲得真心想要的事物，反而吃到苦頭或者內心持續被煩躁感糾纏，眼看著安逐漸獲得他也想得到的事物，而自己卻毫無成長、仍停留在原地，一定只會感受到更深沉的焦慮與痛苦吧。我這裡所說的「想得到的事物」並不單是指來自外界的肯定、金錢權力一類的事物，也包括個人實力和自我滿意度的提升。這些事物並不是迫害他人就能有所改善的無形事物，而且儘管這些無色無味，但當事人是最能明確體會到這些感受到於自己的影響，當後者遲遲沒有進展，內心的煩躁只會與日俱增，到達某個臨界點後，也許就這樣內心僵滯死去了也不一定。
颯彌和布莉潔在我眼中都是這樣的人，颯彌對安又羨又妒而做出種種劣行，但他的手藝並沒有因此提升，送到品評會上的作品也不足以獲得在場參與者的認可；而布莉潔曾經夢想成為銀砂糖師，卻被父親阻撓，鬱悶之下變成一位任性大小姐，揮霍金錢來填補無底洞的煩躁和空虛。颯彌真的對安做出非常過分的事情，因此看到品評會上夏爾的幫助而獲得逆轉勝的機緣，而且安藉由妖精可以吃出銀砂糖品質的差異，提出請國王身邊的妖精做出判斷，洗刷冤屈、獲得公正的評價，這一橋段也令人看得格外痛快。
布莉潔在第三集趁人之危搶到夏爾的所有權，不過我知道後續布莉潔不會得意太久，只能提前替她默哀。儘管是這樣，看到布莉潔的所作所為，依然感到很不耐煩。我知道她有自己的傷心往事，但她一心只羨慕別人擁有的美好，忽略別人一路走來付出的努力和承擔的種種艱苦，眼裡只看得到自己的痛苦，認為自己是最不幸的人就恣意傷害其他人的任性模樣，真的很讓人厭惡。可能是因為這樣，我看的時候一直認為就算當初其父葛連同意培育布莉潔成為砂糖菓子職人，布莉潔大概也無法走下去或會持續怨天尤人。但綜觀來看，其實她的日子也過得很好了吧。父親和工房代理負責人埃里歐特在繁忙之餘，也盡力關照她的感受。其他人到底要做到什麼程度，布莉潔才能滿意？布莉潔內心的騷動才能平靜下來呢？
夏爾在這一集因為飛的提議、吉斯的出現而變得更加苦惱鬱悶，鐵樹正在慢慢開花中，這也是我覺得布莉潔就算得到夏爾的人，也終究無法滿足的根本原因。她根本抵擋不住一心一意只想著安的夏爾，也無法阻止為了救回夏爾而殺到佩基工房的安，屆時看著眼中只有彼此，容不下其他人的布莉潔，心裡又能好受到哪裡去呢？想到這裡，就非常期待自認為早已贏過安的布莉潔表情會變得多精彩XD話說《銀砂糖師與黑妖精》動畫第一季停在小說第三集結尾的進度，實在太過分了。幸好動畫會繼續做第二季。《銀砂糖師與白貴公子》篇幅不長，但將安的苦境在劇情內合理而精彩地從低谷翻轉到高峰，從編故事的技巧來看，會覺得是起承轉合非常適切的故事，從故事發展而言，讀者能品嘗出倒吃甘蔗的爽感，同時為了下一集的風波埋下懸念，引誘著讀者速速翻閱下一集。
