I don't know what it was but, I just didn't find this book overall interesting. Sure, it was interesting. But mostly around the end.

Intanto la povera Sunny è prigioniera del Conte Olaf e della sua banda, e i nostri escogiteranno un piano per poterla liberare. Ma tra loro vi è un ghiacciato ostacolo: la scivolosa scarpata!

Altro capitolo piacevole delle tristi vicende dei fratelli Baudelaire, da divorare in poche ore. Con una bella sorpresa (uno che credevamo morto in realtà era sopravvissuto).

The situation is getting more serious, but the mystery is starting to reveal more and more with time. The problem is that more mystery is being generated. 
Sunny is growing up and showing another talent of hers. More evil people are showing up, and their intentions are getting wider. 
More friends are showing up to that will help the baudleirs in their mission. 
Some parts of the story are not realistic, but since the children have been in so much, that is understandable since it makes them grow mindly into adults sooner than normal.

This book grew on me in the reread. It still felt a bit slow, and the
introduction of Quigley Quagmire felt a bit pointless
, but it was still fun, light and easy. A bit forgettable though.

Another good installment in the series, still opening more questions than it answers and teasing.

May not re-read, unless I do a huge re-read of the full series, as I think it'll be pretty confusing as a standalone.
