i would have liked to see more lisbeth/mikael interacts to understand their relationship a bit more. also, why is there no trigger warnings at the beginning of the book. overall a thrilling read but made my stomach turn sometimes

Incredibly well-written twist on the normal form of modern thriller/mystery. There were some oddly dark and intense moments but that added to the complexity and ability to enjoy the story.
