Customer Reviews

New characters, same Snicket.

It blends in well with the previous books as nothing truly stands out as special. It also ties in new characters seamlessly. I liked it but it does get a bit slow at times.

Little Lemony!

This book series is amazing. It's written from 12-year-old Lemony Snicket in first-person and follows his adventures when he was a VFD trainee. The series provides a lot of insight into how VFD operated and the shenanigans he would get into as a pre-teen. The four book series follows Lemony and his VFD mentor as they investigate a mystery in a town called Stain'd-By-The-Sea. For fans of A Series of Unfortunate Events, this is a must read! It has quite a few nods and callbacks to characters and situations from ASOUE. Every time I'd see a hint to something from ASOUE I'd get giddy and excited. Seriously, read this series. You'll love it.
