Mountains! Mysteries! Mottos! Moral dilemmas! Messages decoded! Siblings separated and siblings found! Dastardly villains perhaps even more dastardly than Olaf himself! Carmelita Spats! Ecosystems disrupted by horrible fires! Charles Algernon Swinburne!
Plot and adventure and drama and sadness are jam-packed into this installment of the Baudelaires' saga, which gives us more of a look at what the V.F.D. is or was. Still, no answers to the bigger questions here, despite some tantalizing clues involving a sugar bowl. Other developments: Violet gets some privacy, Klaus gets a notebook, and Sunny continues to develop her cooking skills. This actually might have been my favorite book yet in the series. 337 pp.
