Tim Curry is back ♡
My favorite people in the Village of Fowl Devotees are the council of elders, because between their absurd layout of rules and their murderous hats, they’re unintentionally hilarious. My least favorite person in VFD is Hector, who proves that no matter how delicious your huevos rancheros, it's not enough if you aren’t willing to defy authority to protect the people in your charge.
Hector is only a marginal step above Jerome Squalor, and only because he listens to and believes in children.
Lessons learned: A poem is worth a thousand initialisms, Andy Dufresne really took the long way, rules are meant to be few, and even then, broken, and the folks at Pixar probably read this book and raised an eyebrow,
So now that I’m seven books deep, I can see there's a pretty consistent pattern to the plots. It bothers some reviewers, but I’m good with it. It’s like a steampunk Scooby Doo, only it’s Old Man Jenkins™ every time.
That said, I’m pretty excited to see some deviation. The orphans are about to go it alone now, no Poe, no guardians. They’ve got the disadvantage of needing resources and being sought by authorities (but given that all authority is wildly inept, I can't see this being that much of a disadvantage—OUR BOY OLAF AIN’T WORRIED ABOUT ˢᴴᴵᵀ). They’ve also got the advantage of personal independence. Let’s face it, they’re better off. At this rate, Poe is literally going to just hand them over to Olaf, exhausted and hacking up a lung, saying, "Land sakes, it's so much easier just to surrender! Why hadn't I considered this ages ago? I'll summon the minister so that you can marry Violet as originally intended, and I can finally get back to 𝒮𝓊𝓅𝑒𝓇 𝐼𝓂𝓅𝑜𝓇𝓉𝒶𝓃𝓉 𝐵𝒶𝓃𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑀𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓈.

Ugh. I forgot how frustrating these books are to read. They keep coming so close to having a nice, happy life, and then things JUST. GET. WORSE. It's just like, an unfortunate event, you know?
