Pensé que ahora si tendría respuestas pero nop.

Me agrada que los hermanos estén dudando en si han hecho o están haciendo lo correcto.

Seriously one of the best of the series. All of the villains the Baudelaires have ever encountered are now in one place: the Hotel Denouement. Snicket shows the reader that there is a fine line between being wicked and noble and we're left wondering which side the Baudelaires are on. One more book!

Best one easily. These books have been growing on my more and more and this one is so fun. The siblings splitting up to take on concierge duties was especially great. All the codes and references, reveals and surprises are so good here.

"It is very difficult to make one's way in this world without being wicked at one time or another, when the world's way is so wicked to begin with."

These books are getting a bit infuriating. Everytime the Baudelaires get anywhere near answers, the person who is going to talk to them gets kidnapped, scared off or murdered. The return of so many characters from the previous books once again reiterates how useless so many of them have been. Some of the choices made by the children in this story did baffle me, the decision to team up with Olaf for instance seems like a very poor choice and completely out of character. Though I am hoping to get the answers to this and to so many other questions in the next and final instalment of the series. Still very enjoyable, despite the growing confusion with each new book.
