As an addition to this series, this book was fine. Not my favorite, but it was interesting enough. The arboretum was really neat, and the Series Of Unfortunate Events making an entrance was fun. 

Now. 

As the FINAL book in this series, this was the WORST. The absolute worst. I was expecting answers, reunions, and an ending. I got NONE of these things! Zero! 

No Quagmires. No Baudelaire parent that survived the fire. No closure! I'm so frustrated!! I don't think any ending of any series has ever made me so bad. I have so many questions left, and no hope of ever getting answers. 

This series created question after question, its not right that the author had zero intention of answering any of them. 

Even my daughter is upset. We both spent an hour after finishing this book creating our own ending and cursing this series over and over again.
