This book didn't actually take me a year to read! I started it and then put it aside to keep up with book club. I was actually glad I had to reread the beginning because I found it to be less confusing the second time. Overall I enjoyed the plot and found it pretty engaging. I felt the ending was a bit rushed which was disappointing given this seems to be the last book in the series. My biggest complaint was with the translation. It seems like no one proofread it as there are plenty of phrases and words that aren't quite correct. I was always able to figure out the meaning, but it just bugged me that I think they could have been caught easily.
I've enjoyed the Millennium series a lot. May be time to retire it at this point. The characters of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist have always been strong and well-defined. Not so much this time. If someone had not read the previous novels, perhaps they would be a bit lost in this one.
That said, this series gives real insight into Swedish politics and the distrustful relationships between the Swedes and Russians. Don't know that I've ever read of a book about a Nepal Sherpa, and you will learn a fair amount about their roles in leading people up Mt Everest. All in all, a good bit of intrigue and high-octane adventure.

Ending was a bit abrupt but a good addition to the series
“Ela não é a miúda de ninguém. É como o anjo caído do paraíso. Não pertence a ninguém, não está ao serviço de ninguém.”
Eu li os 3 primeiros que foram escritos por Stieg Larsson, e o primeiro, o início custou mas depois gostei. A saga continua após a morte do escritor pelo David Lagercrantz, e claro há diferenças mas ele conseguiu.
Agora neste livro??? Como todos os outros o início é sempre difícil, mas neste achei do início ao fim. Não me cativou, não sei se o meu mood foi o melhor ou não.
A ação parecia parada, não havia incentivo, não resultou.
E vamos falar, que diz que é o épico final da saga, e depois descobres que há o 7° escrito por uma escritora?! Então?! Esta série não vai ter fim?!

Neither Lisbeth nor Camille will give up until one of them is lying dead.
The girl with the dragon tattoo is finally ready to confront her arch-nemesis, the only woman who is evidently and in may ways her ultimate match. Salanda will not wait for herself to be hunted. When she launches her strike against her it will be a double blow, vengeance for the recent atrocities and the settling of lifelong scores which have been brewing for many years.
For many months now Salander has been closing in on her target and she has moved from Stockholm, changed her newly styled her and removed all of her trademark piercings. She could pass for any one of the many businesswoman who make their way around the city however not all business woman have a Beretta Cheetah beneath their suit jacket. They also do not process the lethal power of being the infamous hacker who carries scars and tattoos to help remind her of the things which she has survived and things that would have broken many others.
In this new episode of the acclaimed internationally continuation of the Larsson's Dragon tattoo series which is a wholly thrilling ride that scales the heights of Everest and plunges to the depths of the Russian troll factories. At the start of the story it begins with the discovery of Blomkvists number at the Millennuim magazine in the pocket of an unidentified homeless man who has died with the name of a government minister on his lips. Blomkvist, at an extreme personal risk, tracks down his old friend and will protect her as far as he can and finds that he is powerless to crush her enemies on his own. For Lisbeth Salander, the personal is always seen as the political and even more deadly.
I have enjoyed this episode of the series, i have found that this could have been a standalone novel as this pulls on all of the major characters histories and gives us more insight into them. I have found that the novel has helped fortify my love of Lisbeth and forge it in my mind that she is my favourite character of the whole series closely followed by the loner Blomkvist. I have found that in this novel the family aspect of the two major characters built on, for example Blomkvist has a fatherly like link to her and this helps to me to see why they are ultimately link forever no matter what the story flings at them. I love the character development in this novel and it touches on the element of sexuality and how fleeting this can be and that it is important not to judge a book by its cover. When reading some of the paragraphs writing about Lisbeth, it make me feel like th author is assassinating her character and does not want her to succeed and this is just why she does. I have found the 400+ pages of the novel of fast paced and engaging writing which had me gripped from page on through to page 424. I would recommend this book to any one who loves the original trilogy.

Another, presumably: the final, entry in the Millennium Series, and again found it hard to put it down. Is it still as thrilling and fresh as the very first entry? Probably not, but even with a new author still heaps better than most other similar stuff around.
Two different cases are handled by each of our protagonists in different parts of Europe until they start merging. And then.... and then.... Sheesh, I seriously thought Lagercrantz would all go Game Of Thrones for a little while.

i think a series changing authors twice is excessive so i will stop here
overall enjoyed the series, would’ve loved to see it come to completion by the original author, but these three by Lagercrantz were easy reads and for the most part kept my interest throughout

Gave this an initial score of 2 starts out of 5 after finishing the book. Then, after discussing it with my partner, I had to come back and lower that score to 1 our of 5. Unfortunate end to what was initially a fantastic series!

Two plot lines here, Mikael Blomkvist investigating his story and Lisbeth Salander trying to track down her sister Camilla. But they are shadows of their previous selves from the first three books and Blomkvist in particular seems a bit pathetic. Also their two plot lines only come together quite weakly.
