Being that the Vile Village was the last book in the series that followed the established structure of, "Mr. Po brings the siblings to new adoptive family, Olaf shows up, things get torn apart and ruined, kids get taken away for the next story," we finally get to the part in the series when things really start to expand creatively.

I was really disappointed with this season. The whole thing felt rushed and it was just too similar to how the first season was. If this is a sign as to how the show is gonna be, It's gonna be tough for me to continue watching.
