3.0

The premise of this novel was interesting. However, the execution fell a bit short. It attempts a Lemony Snicket type tone, but it only ends up sounding monotonous. Overall, the book is definitely not bad, but there wasn't anything particularly spectacular going on. The only thing that stood out was the illustrations, which I liked. Other than that, it was rather underwhelming. Furthermore, the ending doesn't really give us anything to come back to. Yes, it technically ends on a cliffhanger, but because I had a hard time connecting to Charlotte and Tobias as a reader, I kind of did not care about what would happen in the next installment.
