We're leaving behind the Gorgonian Grotto and arriving at the Hotel Denouement! 

While this was not my favorite installment,  my daughter absolutely loved all of the old characters making appearances throughout the book. Every time one of the Baudelaires opened a door, we were guessing who was going to be behind it, which was the most fun part about this book. 

I really liked the addition of Dewey, but I won't lie, I was hoping for a few more answers on the VFD, and I think I left this book with even more questions, which is SO frustrating! Especially after 12 books, I hate that I still know next to nothing! 

I'm still hoping to see a few more characters and to get a thousand different questions answered. I have no idea how Snicket will manage to wrap it all up with just one more book.
