I reread The Candymakers a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it, so I wanted to finally pick this one up too because I have had it since it came out. While it was still fun, and I had a good time following the characters from the first book, I felt like a lot of the information just wasn't necessary to the story! It made me become a bit bored for the first half of the book or so, and I struggled to get through chunks of it. I missed the candy factory setting, but the little plot twist on the friends' journey was very interesting to me! Overall, this one wasn't my favorite, but I am glad that I picked it up and could finish the little duet.
