 So, I fell into a slump after finishing the last book. These books are mentally harsh to read after a while, so I'll likely take a break for a bit.

But, I enjoyed the characters and setting in this one! Hector was refreshing, though he has his quirk like all the adults do -- he's too afraid to stand up to authority in his town. I enjoyed his assistance to the Baudelaires. And I enjoyed the Quagmires making a strong appearance!!

Of course, the chaos got more chaotic and the inventions and solutions were wildly hard to believe. But, we're learning more and more about VFD which is making things interesting.

It is getting annoying being reintroduced to the Baudelaires every time I read another book. However, seeing as it is in fact a children’s book it is quite pleasant and smart. 

By this book we are finally seeing more mysteries and being pulled into the story more because of V.F.D. I’m excited to see how it is all resolved.
