The only other option was Quidditch Through the Ages, but what would I say about that? What would I say to make a lengthy and detailed post about that?
I read this entire series twice and I still love these books.
So, for those of you who have forgotten, the Quagmire twins, Duncan and Isadora, were introduced into the series in The Austere Academy. They both had these notebooks that their parents, who died in a fire, gave them. Isadora was a poet, and she was really good at making couplets, which was major in The Vile Village. And Duncan was a journalist. Some messed up stuff happens in the next book, and then in The Vile Village, the Baudelaire orphans find these slits of paper that have couplets written on them. Basically, the couplets reveal a lot of clues about where the Quagmire twins are. The Baudelaire's caretaker helps the Quagmires escape, but let's just say it wasn't a happy ending. Sure, the Quagmire's got away, but it accomplished . . . nothing.
Two books later, the Baudelaire orphans are brought to some place that is a supposed secret headquarters and they meet Quigley Quagmire there, who the Quagmire twins thought died in the fire along with their parents, but managed to escape. There is a very subtle romance between Quigley and Violet, and I didn't notice it the first time I read the books. Then, Quigley's gone after a series of unfortunate events, (word play) and it never really talks about the fate of the Quagmires, it's quite vague.
