It's a beautiful story and it makes you feel all sorts of things. You laugh, you cry, you get proud... Yet, the story is told in a very-easy-to-read format. It flows very well and it's not difficult to just keep telling yourself, “Just one more page” while not noticing how far you've gone.

It truly is tragic.

It's interesting, but it would have been more interesting if the story didn't start very late in the book. Much of the part before that is really just a lot of Sanaa loves Jiro, it's almost like the bigger plot was written as an afterthought. Towards, the end, Sanaa became even more questionable as a character - one moment she has not hurt a person, the next she had no qualms about beheading someone.

It's tagged as “mystery” and “thriller” so I was looking for that throughout the entire story. It was a very straightforward read. Nothing quite mysterious nor thrilling. The ending felt like it had to be cut short. It's a fast read, though.

It's a proper end to the story of the Baudelaire siblings, even if it's not actually the end.
