big yikes for the forced and non-believable romantic plots. the mystery plot was entertaining but even i noticed the clumsy writing. it was poorly tied together with the other mystery plot about lisbeth's sister. a disappointing ending for a great series.
As always, an interesting read. I needed a bit of time to catch up with the story (and past storylines) but once I got into it, I found it hard to put down. The connections to Lisbeth, Mt. Everest expedition and more tied together well, and I loved the addition of Catrin. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.
En ok krimi, som jeg primært læste, fordi jeg elskede de originale. Den her er ikke lige så god ... men fin.
I love this series, but this one’s kind of a mess. The narratives only tangentially connect and it’s pretty anti-climatic on both fronts.
Lagercrantz’s third (and possibly final) Millennium entry is very much possibly the most enjoyable out of his three entries. The beginning of this mystery brought me in well with the chemistry between Blomkvist and Salander being the best part of it all, with the ending hoping that it will give this series it’s well earned goodbye. B+ (83%/Very Good)
I have generally enjoyed the continuation of the Millennium trilogy, but in my view this 3rd and last book in the series is the weakest one. It does provide a conclusion to the story of Lisbeth and her sister, but it just felt a bit underwhelming to me.
This, like book 5, seemed to have strayed so far from the main plot story with these huge side stories that just weren't all the interesting or seemed to pop out of nowhere. This one had a ton of conveniences that took away from the story in general. It was okay, but starting to be over-stereo-typical and predictable.
“My sister is just five feet tall and as thin as a rake, and she...beat the shit out of you.”

“He must not allow a word or a look to betray the fact that he actually admired Salander, or Wasp, as he had come to know her. There were good hackers, there geniuses and then there was Wasp.”
.
“They ought to be safe here. But he was nonetheless not entirely confident, and his thoughts went to Wasp and what he had heard about her. She was said to have got into the NSA’s intranet and read things that not even the President had been allowed to see. She has succeeded in doing what was considered impossible, and in his world she was a legend, whereas Kira...well, what about Kira?”
.
can’t wait for the last four books, but what’s gona happen? Kira’s end was kind of disappointing, and as she’s been built up to be the big bad over the last like 3-4 books, who’s gona be Salander’s nemesis now? Lagercrantz has done a nice job of weaving all the seemingly random storylines in each volume together since he took over after The Girl Who Kicked a Hornets Nest. Sad we can’t get anymore Swedish movie versions as Mikael Nyqvist’s dead, and was disappointed that the American version skipped over like 2-3 books.... The American titles are cool but mygod the english translations of some of the Swedish titles:
