"The world is quiet here." 

Wow. I really liked this installment in the series. It feels like there's real growth for the characters, especially Sunny and Violet, Klaus is lagging a bit in characterization. 

It's nice that previously established themes and trends are explored more in depth. I love the call-backs (and call-forwards?) to other books in the series as well and it's nice that we are giving more lore on the V.F.D. It's great!
