I was unsatisfied with this ending. The thing is, I’m not really sure what I would like to change or if anything should be changed because I do understand that it’s meant to end this way: it’s not a perfect ending, it’s not even really a happy ending, it doesn’t tie up everything. But that doesn’t change the fact that I finished this series feeling completely unsatisfied. Couldn’t they at least tie up SOMETHING?
I do understand that that’s kind of the point. The author repeatedly tells you to stop reading, that it won’t end well, and you keep reading either way so it’s on you. But I do feel like the readers deserved more answers. Even if it turns out the Quagmires and Fiona are dead, even if it turns out that the Baudelaire parents did terrible things, I would have liked to have at least part of this information.
Are you telling me that we never get even an idea of what the big deal with the sugar bowl was?
I don’t know, like I said before I understand this was the point and maybe in time I’ll feel differently, but it still felt a little lazy and really unfair to the reader and that’s something that leaves me feeling upset after finishing these 13 books, I don’t care whether it was the intent or not.
