Still leaves a lot of questions but I kind of feel that's how the book should go. I enjoyed the series anyway and would recommend it

I'm a bit disappointed? I felt like it was a bit rushed (like I didn't care about the
Spoilerculty islanders and their 'drink the opiate' moments
)??

I LOVED the ending about the Baudelaires
Spoilergoing back into the mysterious and scary (adult) world with Beatrice
and the character growth/ depth (with them and even Olaf), which is why I didn't rate this lower.

But overall I felt like I was left hanging because
Spoilerall the questions/ mysteries LEADING UP TO THIS BOOK (KEEP IN MIND IT'S BOOK 13) weren't really answered bc adults are sooo ~mysterious~ and have secrets. The world is such a ~deep~ place and some answers are tooooo sCaRy for children to know... ughhhhhh!
Feels like a cop out :(((((

GIVE ME ONE THING AT LEAST!
SpoilerLike the Quagmires?? maybe? potentially got EATEN?? BY A KRAKEN?? OR MR. POE USED TO ACT? SO IS HE actuALLY VFD?? HOW WERE THEIR PARENTS INVOLVED IN OLAF'S DEATH? THE FKN SUGAR BOWL? why does SNICKET ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP RESEARCHING ABOUT THEM??
WHAT?? Give me something, please.

Well that was disappointing. Next time if the author tells me not to read their book I'm taking their advice

Well.  I’m done.

If you’ve read the series then you know the final book is controversial and can confirm as an adult it’s still upsetting

I have read many book series but this one was definitely the worst.
Why do we have an unclear ending? No one likes them and they always leave some bitterness in the reader.
Also, all the books were repetitive with only changed names and places. In fact, everyone died except the siblings and kit’s daughter but I think it would have been better if everyone died so the series had a clear end instead of what we got.

I know I rated the books usually 3 stars, but they deserve 2 stars. The end.

All that build up for literally nothing to come of it.
No answers..
No closure.
I read this series in the 8th grade and never finished. So here I am 18 years later and still have the same amount of information that I did then.
