I really wanted to like this book…. But I wasn’t a fan. From the blatant lesbophobia and problematic writing of women, queer women, and trauma to the all over the place pacing to the dislikeable/shallow characters and finally the abrupt ending it seemed like it was missing the mark. what sucks is this book had POTENTIAL and I believe the author was probably trying to do his best with inclusivity but he should’ve hired a diversity consultant or talked to actual women and lesbian women at that. Again you CANNOT convince me Lisbeth isn’t a nonbinary lesbian!! Mikael SUCKS. He’s so basic/boring/self obsessed…. Have we forgotten he has a legitimate child he’s probably neglecting.

I did enjoy the twist of Lisbeths backstory and her link to Zala- it was not what I thought it was- but it seemed like it came too late and there wasn’t enough time to explore that further

I would’ve also liked the theme and trauma of sec trafficking to have been told from the lens of the survivors, even Mia, but it seemed like an afterthought in the story.

Questo volume non è perfetto, ma nonostante ciò mi è piaciuto. 

Certo avrei gradito vedere una maggior relazione tra i due protagonisti, visto che il loro modo di relazionarsi era una delle cose che avevo più gradito dell'opera precedente, ma nonostante ciò direi

che proprio a causa di questa costante mancanza di comunicazione iniziale, quando i due ricominciano a interagire, rende le loro interazioni più significative

.

Inoltre, alche se comincia un po' troppo tardi per i miei gusti, la parte thriller/mystery del libro mi ha convinto e coinvolto parecchio, soprattutto per come vede coinvolto il personaggio di Salander.

Una cosa cosa che però mi ha leggermente infastidito era la continua menzione a uno specifico momento del passato di lei estremamente importante sia per la sua vita , che per la trama, che però è restato a lungo un riferimento vago, senza essere chiarito, cosa che in un libro raccontato tramite i pov dei vari personaggi non so quanto funzionasse.
