Well written and Simon Vance always does a phenomenal job narrating. I felt slightly disappointed by the story itself. I expected more action and excitement but it never got there for me. I do appreciate the sentiment at the end and the possibility that this will be the last book. I will always hope for another though!
The least interesting of all of the books in this series
Tenía ganas de que acabara el culebrón familiar de Lisbeth, la verdad. Al menos eso está finiquitado. Pero la historia con el sherpa es tan enrevesada y hay tanta conexión entre historias que me he perdido en algún momento y sólo me interesaba la historia de Lisbeth. El resto es paja que me sobra bastante.
It was a fun quick read. I always enjoy how these stories reveal themselves.

Coming from the 5th book (which was a pretty good read, in my opinion), I thought that the 6th one deserved a read despite the negative reviews.
Here are my thoughts on this one:
- The book is relatively slow and may be a bit boring at times due to extensive descriptions that might not be of interest.
- The plot is easy to follow, but it takes a LONG time to develop.
- The ending was a bit of a disappointment.
Overall, if you’re a dedicated fan of the Millennium series and want to see Lisbeth Salander’s journey continue, The Girl Who Lived Twice is worth a read, but don't expect it to blow your mind. It’s a solid, though flawed, continuation of the story that feels too slow compared to the other books. If you don’t really care about Lisbeth’s or Mikael’s journey, then you can skip the book entirely.

Much better than the previous two in the Millennium series. The book still felt like it jumped around between two story lines that the author could not decide between. In the end, they did tie together, but not as tightly as I had hoped.
This is the first time David Lagercrantz manages to impress me with his continuation of the Millenium series. It's of course not on par with the original author, but still, the was great drive here and I never wanted to stop listening.
Lisbeth, not wanting to be a sitting duck, is hunting her sister. The latter is after her life and has a bunch of con-man on Lisbeth's trail. They stop at nothing. At the same time, Michael is getting involved in the myserious death of a beggar. A death that seems to involve a government minister. The two plot-lines move in parallel, occasionally intervening and all the more so toward the end. This was absolutely worth my time.

They're not as excellent as the first ones but still intriguing. It's a nice escape for a teacher.
