11/13/2013: I'm sad to read this is the final novel in the series, because it means it's already halfway through! :'-(
REVIEW :
The ending of this series is bittersweet one. The world goes on, even when bad things happen; that can be a very happy thought, or a very depressing one. Oftentimes, it's both to every person, at some point in their lives.
The thing I like about Lemony Snicket's books is that they paint people in shades of gray. Heroes don't always save everyone or keep everyone from getting hurt (whether it's physical or emotional pain), and they aren't always liked for doing the right thing, either. Conversely, villans aren't just born bad or psychotic. Sometimes kind people make misguided attempts at making things better, and just make things worse; they don't do bad things "just because," but rather, because they don't know any other way. It doesn't make their bad acts any better, but it gives context to just why people do the things they do.

"...sometimes i imagine i will be frightened for the rest of my life because of all of the fear i put aside during my time in stain'd by the sea"
"Ellington Feint was a line in my mind running right down the middle of my life , separating the formal training of my childhood and the territory of the rest of my days. She was an axis and at that day , and at that moment and for many moments afterwards , my entire world revolved around her."
The writing is top tier
