The Slippery Slope is set in the Mortmain Mountains, a chilly range of odd, squarish mountains, home to snow gnats, bears, and the VFD headquarters. The Baudelaire orphans are separated, with Sunny being kidnapped by Count Olaf and taken to the summit of Mount Fraught. Violet and Klaus are left for dead along the road up the mountains. Sunny is forced to cook for and clean up after Count Olaf and his troupe, who are planning to destroy the headquarters of VFD. Meanwhile, Violet and Klaus are searching for the headquarters, and hoping to rescue their baby sister.

Most of these books follow the same formula: Olaf pursues the orphans, the Baudelaires evade him through unique methods, Olaf manages to get his capture one or all of the orphans, and then the orphans manage to slip away from him at the last minute.

The characters are still as amazing as in the previous books in this series. If you compare this book and the first book then you can truly see the character development happening for Violet, Klaus and Sunny.

Like all the previous books, there is great mix of humor, adventure, and suspense. You truly don’t know how the Baudelaires will get out of their predicaments. There’s a lot going on in this book and the books get more complicated the deeper into the series I get.
