The series as a whole is amazing. This third part, though you could probably remove half of the book that focuses on side characters and still get a gratifying ending to the the trilogy.

I found the first two books to be so boring, like painfully so. This book tied everything together and even though my fav Lisbeth was unconscious for the first portion of the book it was a million times more interesting than the first book specifically.

Per quanto non riesca a dare a questo volume una valutazione migliore, in quanto ha qualche problema di pacing e a tratti risulta un po' piatto, l'ho trovato estremamente piacevole e avvincente, soprattutto per la parte relativa al

processo e il contro interrogatorio condotto dalla sorella di Blomkvist durante esso

.

Inoltre, continuo a gradire la figura di Blomkvist, mentre ritengo interessante quella di Salander parecchio interessante, anche se a tratti frustante, e credo anche che un personaggio come quello di lei, trattato in questa maniera, sia estremamente raro da trovare in un libro uscito nel 2009.

Sono quindi molto interessata a continuare questa saga, ma sapendo che i prossimi volumi sono stati scritti da un altro scrittore non so proprio cosa aspettarmi.
