In the past I have greatly enjoyed these books, perhaps it was the character that really bring the story to life. I'm not sure I feel as awesome about this one though. I think this was a good book, the complexity is there, along with suspense the other books had. This story picks up after the previous works, Millenium is struggling and Mickel and Lisbeth haven't spoken. The whole story delves into the idea of artificial intelligence as well as big brother and cyber security. There's a lot of jabs at the NSA as well. And I think it read well, but the author tended to ruin his own suspense. One particular instance was the comment But, all in all, it was an enjoyable read, I'm interested in seeing if there will be more books exploring this drama between the Salander sisters.
Spoiler
about it being the last time anyone saw Andre (or Xander, wtf did he need to have two names?) or something to that degree. It ruined that whole part of the SL.halynah's review against another edition

Absolutely brilliant sequel of the legendary trilogy!!! Nothing spoilt, I would even say this book is more dynamic and Lisbeth is even more likeable here. Excellent plot and I demand the next book, especially taking into account unfinished business with certain witch! Well done, Mr Lagercrantz! Don't pay attention to petty and envious people and please, start the next book!

I read the three “Millennium” books penned by Steig Larsson as they were released. I was hesitant to continue after Larsson’s death when David Lagercrantz took over the series. All I can say is that it was silly of me to wait until now to read this fourth book. I liked it just as much as Larsson’s original ones. I completely forgot how good the characters are from this series. Now I can’t wait to read number five.

excellent! very similar to Larsson's writing style, but with a subtle difference. Not as long as I wanted it to be, though, but I'll survive.

Despite the controversy, I was excited for a new Millennial book and I was hopeful this would do Larsson's series justice. If I could have given this book 2.5 stars, I would. I enjoyed it in spots, but the first third of the story was a slow, uphill climb, Lisbeth Salander was barely in the book, and the antagonist was revealed far too late. Lagercrantz tried, but this book is a bit of a mess.

This was a good continuation and the new author did a fine job. I loved that we found out more about Camilla.
