### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Getting more and more invested in the series
*by Q***S on 24 December 2017*

I have come to a conclusion (conclusions are important to me). This is not a childrens or middle-grade series. Children should never be allowed near these books thanks to the amount of murder (via arson, poisoning or being thrown into a lake full of monster leeches) and general misery in them. Middle-graders would find them patronizing. That leaves young-adults and adults. And now that that’s clear, I can finally move on. The Baudelaire orphans are once again off to a new place to live. This time, it’s a lumber mill where they’re forced to labour. It’s a miserable place and they’re very unhappy, though you’re probably used to reading that by now. The thing that’s different in this case is Count Olaf. Usually, he shows up as soon as they’ve settled into the place. This time, he doesn’t. Things still suck for the kids but it’s not because of him. Not at first, at least. He still shows up later on. But that’s obvious. You can’t have a Phineas and Ferb episode with Candace, can you? Anyway, the whole time he’s not there, the Baudelaires are constantly looking for him. They know he’s going to find them, and not knowing where he is or what he’s planning is almost worse for them. I like that the author changed things up a little. It was interesting. We also got our first adult who actually listened to the kids. Not that he was any help, but still, that’s progress for sure. I liked this installment. And I like how the author changes one thing in every book to keep things fresh. I wish he would change the baby talk with Sunny, but we can’t always get what we want. I’m warming up to the word-meaning segments because they’ve shifted from I’m-trying-to-educate-you to funny additions. The one problem I had (that was unique to this book) involved a sword fight. It pained a bad picture in my head and was a tad too ridiculous even by this series’ standards. Other than that, it were good and I’m reading the next part very soon.
