2.5
There is a lot of sexual violence in this book, so keep that in mind. There are some fairly explicit descriptions of women who had been raped and killed in brutal ways. Lisbeth is also a ward because she was deemed mentally incompetent, so there's a bit of talk on that. Lisbeth does get raped during the course of the story and Mikael was a second away from being raped as well. Lots of talk about Nazis and antisemitism as well, for reasons that are apparent when you meet the Vanger family.
Graphic: Rape
Moderate: Antisemitism, Sexual violence, and Incest

I did find all the references to sex just annoying and childish. “I would like to have sex with you”. “I like having sex with you too” it was just weird and felt so basic and unnecessary. I felt there didn’t need to be so many sexual relationships, it didn’t add anything at all to the story.
A lot of mention of “the anorexic girl” or “the girl who looks anorexic” as descriptors. Again, just felt flat and unnecessary. We get it, she looks anorexic *eye roll*.
Generally though I did enjoy the story and will read the next in the series.
