What this book is about

With Sunny captured and taken up a snow-covered mountain by Count Olaf, Violet and Klaus must follow with the help of new allies. The tenth A Series of Unfortunate Events novel begins paying off the series' accumulated mythology about V.F.D. with genuine revelations, while darkening the tone further. Snicket's narrative voice remains wryly comforting even as the situations become increasingly serious.
