As with the rest of Lemony Snicket's novels, this one was horribly depressing but a fun read nonetheless. I love his use of vocabulary and ridiculous definitions. I even remember enjoying this particular aspect when I read the books back in middle school, some 8 or so years ago.

Utterly shocked and flabbergasted at the fact that these children have now witnessed a woman being cut in half by a giant saw blade, right after she'd dueled and tried to slice the throat of our Sunny, who is checks notes one year old.
This was awful I'm so mad! There wasn't a single silver lining or a moment of comfort anywhere in this book, it was all bleak bleak. Lemony Snickett warned you yadda yadda I don't care! I'm sad for my children!!
Although now we've stepped away from the well-meaning, but hopelessly incompetent guardians the kids have been entrusted to so far, I absolutely loathed seeing them join the workforce and I hated Sir and Charles was just annoying. Phil was okay-ish, though. And say whatever you want, but Olaf and his cronies are nothing if not versatile. Shirley was a hoot, I'll miss you girl you'd make a terrible receptionist xoxo.
