Top secret—only for readers deeply interested in the Baudelaire case. How I pity those readers.

Review:
Cons? Rather pointless and reminds me of the Griffin & Sabine series with its obscure epistolary nature. Pros? Short!
No answers are forthcoming in this series of letters, but we do get some tiny hints as to what occurred after the events of The End. This book could very easily be skipped, and definitely shouldn’t be approached with any expectation of clarity.
I think it created as many questions as it answered.
Honestly, the whole series was a complete disappointment based on the final three books — the resolution didn’t live up to the setup.
We’ll see if JKR manages better.
