I'm addicted to Snicket's prose. Overall, I liked this book better than the first in the series. The first book simply felt like a snippet of another story, whereas this book felt like it's own story, while still furthering the series plot. Lots of twists, lots of wit, lots of intrigue. I loved it.

I flew by this quirky and fun second instalment of All The Wrong Questions. I loved the friendships that were formed in this book, and the mystery still manages to captivate my curiosity!

Charming, witty and an improvement over its predecessor. While much of [b:Who Could That Be At This Hour?|13477819|Who Could That Be At This Hour? (All The Wrong Questions, #1)|Lemony Snicket|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1333060600s/13477819.jpg|19008874] felt like it was setting everything up for the series as a whole, this book jumped right in with the established setting and characters, engaged in some world-building to expand the scope, and allowed the mystery to breathe and gather steam toward an exciting climax. There was even room in the final chapter to tease the next book, and the series villain is less of a mystery and more formidable. I love it when characters from A Series of Unfortunate Events pop up, although I do wish that I had finished those books more recently or took detailed notes while reading; perhaps Snicket's books are too smart for their own good!

A fun continuation of the series. I think previously I was disappointed at the lack of ASOUE references and didn’t take to the new characters, but this time around I am very much enjoying the new faces and extra excited when a reference surfaces. Love shout outs to Kit, Jacques, Gustav (!), and Widdershins
