This book seemed to be longer than the first two, and again Snicket talked about Aunt Josephine's death very early on in the book. It isn't even foreshadowing, because he says things like "Josephine isn't dead... yet". I'm paraphrasing, but you know what I mean.
Aunt Josephine was their third guardian, and I don't know where the inept Mr. Poe keeps finding these people because she was awful. She seemed nice enough, but she was NOT a good person to take care of three children. Being scared of everything, being obsessed with grammar to the point that she focuses on nothing else, and most importantly being willing to give the children up to Captain Sham (AKA Count Olaf again) to save herself doesn't bode well. I'm pretty sure they only lived with her for about 3 days total before she faked her death, and then actually died when Captain Sham pushed her into the lake with the leeches. But I wasn't that sad to see her go, honestly.
But I am sad that the Baudelaires had to leave another place and go to another home. Partially because of crazy Aunt Josephine, but also partly in part to dumb Mr. Poe. He literally sits there and talks to Count Olaf time after time and has the dumbest reasons to not believe the children. It never stops irritating me.
