 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.
