"The Carnivorous Carnival" is the ninth installment in the "A Series of Unfortunate Events Series." In this novel, three orphans, the Baudelaire children, are once again on the endeavor of escaping from the vile Count Olaf who is after their money. In this novel, Count Olaf has an entourage, making the experiences of the Baudelaires even more arduous. This novel, as per the title, features a carnival where the Baudelaires attempt to disaffiliate themselves from Count Olaf. This novel is unequivocally dark and maintains a despondent atmosphere. Just like the other titles in this series, this novel is enticing, intriguing, and beautifully crafted. I unreservedly recommend this novel!
