danteandvirgil 's review for:

The Austere Academy by Lemony Snicket
5.0
dark emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Loved the introduction of the Quagmire triplets in this one. It's refreshing to have our main characters interact with other children finally. They've, I think, been exclusively with adults this entire time in the series so far. Shame they were then promptly taken away T.T We are getting to the hazy parts of what I remember from this series from when I was younger. I know the next one has to do with a tall building and going up many flights of stairs. 

I think this is the one where Violet and Klaus are forced to try each other's specialties and that is a nice change of pace for them!
