I decided to reread this series as an adult because I remember loving it as a kid. I knew it had darker themes, but what in the actual hell?

I remember Count Olaf trying to marry Violet (a 14-year-old CHILD) for their inheritance, but I thought it was a marriage on paper only. But this man is expecting her to LIVE with him, SLEEP next to him??? Oh absolutely not.

Fuck Mr. Poe. But fuck Count Olaf even more.
