I’ve never loved this series, but have kept with it. I think this was my favorite one.
After the previous book in this series, I came to peace with the fact this entire series is about Lisbeth's childhood. In some series, the protagonist's past is prologue to the story. In this series, even with all the big events that headline each novel, Lisbeth's childhood IS the story. Every story.
And as far as that goes, this was a nice round-up of all that has come before. The supposed real story, of government agents run amok and of Russian creeps purveying evil, regained a step in the right direction from the previous novel. It was everything a thriller's lead plot should be.
If you like these kinds of books, you'll like this novel. That's it.

This is the worst book in the series, and it makes me wonder how much further this can go. Every other book has been spurred by your need to know more about the characters, but after the last one, there is little left to learn. Instead we now have the characters solving mysteries and tying up loose ends, and if the mystery would have been better this book would have been better, but in my opinion it was bad. I do not care at all about Everest and these random people and politicians and the book did nothing to make me care. I'm still in, keep writing sir, but I'm hoping the next one resonates more with me.
Another good addition to the Lisbeth Salander saga, this one seemed a bit shorter than the others. It has the same great characters and the same dark complexity as previous books, but I found that it lacked a bit of edge.
The plot was engaging and revealing mysteries bit by bit kept me turning pages pretty quick--I finished this book in just a few days!
Recommended for fans of Lisbeth Salander, Swedish mystery novels, and political intrigue.

This was my least favorite book of the series. The story felt like it jumped around from thread to unrelated thread. Very disjointed, even when connections were revealed.
