This is the fourth book in the Millenium series which was picked up by David Lagercrantz following the untimely death of Stein Larsson. Whilst we must always pay tribute to Larsson for creating this series, I very much enjoyed Lagercrantz’s continuation of it. Again hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist are thrown back together after a famed professor is murdered and his mute autistic son is the only witness. This delves deep into the murky world of hacking, government and corporate secrets and introduces Salanders twin sister into the series in person for the first time which is something I had been itching for during the previous book. I think a part of me enjoyed Lagercrantz’s interpretation is different to Larsson’s and I can see some will enjoy it, some won’t. There is certainly less violent sex scenes, incest and whilst there is torture it is not so detailed and happens ‘off screen’ if you like which was preferred by me. There was also a more straightforward plot. With Larsson’s last two books there were always several plots running alongside each other and so many characters it got confusing. Whilst there are still a lot of characters here there is only really one main plot which really helped me stay involved in the story.
More Lisbeth
I read this book rapidly, both eagerly turning the page to know what was going to happen next, yet reluctantly because I did not want it to end.
I wondered how this would fit with the previous books as it is carried on in the Larsson style. I was happy to have the Salander & Blomkvist story continue. I hope there will be additional books to follow.

Still a fun read though not as good as the original. Would give a 3.5.
The last half of the book is good but only because it's like Godzilla (2014); For the first half, Godzilla (in this case Salander and Blomkvist) is only alluded to by people we don't care about. But the second half, Godzilla appears in all his greatness and glory and it's amazing. WE CAME HERE FOR GODZILLA, NOT SOME RANDO LESSERS
A follow up to Stieg Larsson's "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series. It was ok, but not as good as the original. The computer stuff made me cringe more than was necessary, and all in all it just felt like a poor follow on to the originals. He does capture the writing style well enough though.
This was amazing. It starts off a little slow, but once the pace picks up it's impossible to put down.
I loved this series and once this new author picked it up I had a bit of hope I could continue to follow Lisbeth. Unfortunately it looks like the author had no cool about the pervious books and the characters l. Or at least that how I felt while reading this. It’s almost like he used cliff notes and tried to continue the series.
I gave the book up to donation. Completely disappointing.

I wanted to love this book more than I actually did. As with the other books in the series, the story was compelling, but there were SO many names and organizations that I found myself lost a number of times. I'm all for twists and turns and stories you have to pay close attention to, but in this case, it took away from the storyline for me. A worthwhile read for fans of the series, but be prepared to go back and reread sections.
I trudged through this book, hoping it would get better. It never did. I never felt connected to any of the characters, as they felt flat and boring. Poor quality writing. I even found a few typos, so obviously the editing wasn't great either.
NO comparison to the original books, which were ALL my favorites, and hard to put down. Terribly disappointed, as I have missed Lisbeth.
