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:

I know that many people did not like the last two books in the series, but I enjoyed their intricate plots and development. Though others hVe said this is the best of the the last three, I disagree. While all the threads of the plot that included many people and pieces came together at the end (as they always do), LisaBeth’s role was not as prominent as I had expected.
A rather disappointing continuation of a series that I have loved to read. David Lagercrantz's additions to the series have a very different feel from those of Stieg Larsson. One of my biggest complaints is that it seems that no two characters can meet without developing a romantic/sexual relationship. The entire book has a long drawn out buildup that is tedious and a little boring until the very rapid climax at the end. I spent most of this book just waiting for the book to be over so that I could move on to something else.
I keep coming back to Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander because she is the antihero I love to root for. She didn't sign up to save anyone and she's no angel but she does avenge wrongs and takes names while doing it on her own terms. I don't feel that David Lagercrantz's past attempts at continuing Lisbeth's journey have been disappointments until reading this book. In this story, both Lisbeth and Mikel Blomquist, mainstays of the series, have heretofore been at the forefront of the plot. In [b:The Girl Who Lived Twice|42846882|The Girl Who Lived Twice (Millennium, #6)|David Lagercrantz|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1542407915l/42846882._SX50_.jpg|66610302], they were relegated to the backstory in favor of the main mystery.
I found myself wanting to see more of these characters. I didn't care about the mystery at hand. I was disappointed to end the series on this note. If there's another book in the series, I won't be reading it, which is really disappointing, considering how much I loved this character and her backstory.

I found this book extremely difficult to get through. It was very slow and it jumped around quite a bit. It felt chippy and almost like it could have been two separate stories at times. I was a fan of the previous books in the series so anticipated I would enjoy this one but it left me feeling ok that this was the last book in the series and not wanting anymore.

Jag hade förväntningar på den här boken då jag tyckte att den förra boken var riktigt bra. Men Hon som måste dö känns hafsig och inte helt genomtänkt. Jag stör mig på det tidvis slarviga språket med för många "ju" och "nu" i ett och samma stycke. Redan det att det har tagit mig en hel vecka att läsa boken (jag har jobbat fulla dagar också) talar sitt tydliga språk. Det är först under de sista 150 sidorna jag känner det typiska suget att läsa mera. Det är nog gott och väl att detta var David Lagercrantz sista bok i serien. Framtiden får utvisa om Nordstedts tänker anlita någon annan författare för att fortsätta historien om Mikael Blomkvist och Lisbeth Salander. Spontant känner jag att det räcker nu. Men kommer det en bok till kommer jag troligtvis att läsa den ändå.
