This was a disappointing end to the Millenium series. We meet back up with Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist in this final book. With Lisbeth is hot on the trail of her twin sister, her and Mikael are once again separated. When a homeless man is found murdered with nothing on him except Blomkvist’s phone number, Mikael is once again pulled into a conspiracy story; this time involving a trek to Mount Everest. Overall this plot line was altogether very weak and a little pointless and I found myself losing the thread of what was happening regularly simply through lack of interest. As with all three books written by Lagercrantz in this series this is a very watered down instalment compared with the graphic nature of Larsson’s first three books, and Salander is again barely featured, which I don’t really understand seeing as she is the title character in all six books. I was pleased to see a wrapping up of her relationship with her sister Camilla, but even that was somewhat unsatisfying. Not really a fitting end to Larsson’s legacy for me.
Sempre interessanti, le storie di Millennium, anche se questo sesto episodio mi ha appassionato meno dei precedenti. Forse per il fatto che mi sono un po' perso, dietro l'incrocio dei vari personaggi, o forse perché ci ho trovato ben pochi riferimenti alla società svedese e ai temi della violenza e discriminazione contro le donne che, mi pare, aveva dato il via a tutto il progetto delle avventure di Lisbeth e Mikael.
Entertaining and the best one out of the new books by this author.
I don't recommend reading this if you have not read the other Lisbeth Salander books.

Libro que me ha fascinado. Pone punto y final a absolutamente todo lo que llevábamos pendiente desde el primer libro. Eso si, me ha dado pena ponerle punto y final a esta saga
I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series. This one introduced me to some topics I’ve never thought of before, and wrapped them in the ongoing saga of Salander and Blomkvist.
I originally read this book right after its 2019 release. I’ve reread the entire series to read the next (by Karen Smirnoff) installment. I think time and the rereading really changed my view on the second trilogy. Salander is a peripheral character in these books with almost superhuman/ superhero themes. Each of Lagercrantz’s books are compelling as standalone stories but really push the boundaries of the absurd in the full Salander trajectory. I’m choosing to leave my previous ratings but hope Smirnoff takes a different path with her book (books?). I’ll keep reading anything involving Salander but… hope the suspension of disbelief gets easier.
