It also does a good job building the world - Lemony mentions that he had an "unusual education" and you initially assume he learned on the streets without his parent's knowledge, however he mentions when asked if he can pick locks that "No, [he] got an incomplete". He went to an ACTUAL academy with Actual classes in picking locks and eavesdropping and other things - he literally had an unusual education. I immediately wanted to know more - what academy was it, who runs it, who else attended? Are Esme Squalor and Olaf alumni? etc. It interested me.

This is kind of old hat if you've explored the supplementary materials to ASOUE. The Unauthorized Autobiography goes deeply into the activities and recruitment process of VFD. The Beatrice Letters details some of Lemony's time in his training years, which he spent with many of the other children that we know later as adult VFD members.

You're lucky to be only on the first two and really enjoying it. I was skeptical at first, but the third and fourth are incredible.
