>!Count Olaf dies in the last book,!< and the kids do survive, but I don't know if I'd describe the ending as "happy." It wasn't bad either, but it seemed more open-ended. If I remembered it better, I'd be able to describe it better.

It was a crushing disappointment for me. I know Handler was trying for an ambiguous ending that doesn’t provide all the answers, but I found it incredibly unsatisfying and a lousy way to end a children’s series.
