3.5

Reading this book in 2024 was tough, a lot of the character descriptions felt rather dated and offensive at times. I found it super weird how characters talked about Salander, though I’m not sure if that was the point (to make us dislike the characters discussing her) the mystery portion was interesting, especially between like 50-75 percent. Before and after that the pacing felt slow and off. Not for me, it was an okay story and well developed mystery that wasn’t too off the walls with twists, so I did like that
