The Slippery Slope by Lemony Snicket

3.75

Sunny is great in this book. I really like her character, how she's been forced to grow up, and how that's been happening throughout the books by her using more complex and comprehensible words, as well as gaining a new interest in cooking. We also uncover some secrets and gain some more mysteries, which is great. I wish the new mysteries were a bit more concrete. The only thing we know about the sugar bowl is that it's important, and there's these two new villain characters about whom we know nothing. I feel like at this point in the story I want things to come into focus a bit more, and while that has happened with VFD, these new mysteries keep the overall mystery out of focus.
