This was all over the place and somehow barely focused on Lisbeth? This was the worst book in the series and I felt like I had to finish it because I read books one through five. I did not feel connected to the plot.
David Lagercrantz was presented with a bit of a poison chalice when asked to continue the magnificent Millennium Trilogy. I feel he has made a decent enough fist of staying relevant and true to Stig Larsson's books. In this the third book of his continuing series he reintroduces some earlier characters from the original trilogy and produces a taut psychological thriller which was well worth the £1.99 price of admission from a digital retailer.

A good ending to the series . It was closed well with all questions answered but not so much that it was a definitive end; someone could definitely carry it on if they wanted. I loved the separate stories for Lisbeth and Mikael and how they were cleverly linked. I did feel that Camilla's death was cliche and I am frustrated that we didn't get to find out why Erica was getting divorced.

You know what? I'm happy that I finally found the time to dive into this series and finish it all. It might've taken me a while but I did it. That being said, The Girl Who Lived Twice was an okay book. I was honestly really intrigued in the whole sherpa mystery but other than that.. the romance and drama was just okay. A bit overdramatic in some places and lackluster in others.
I guess I liked the last three book and it was interesting to see what David was going to do with all the characters. Yet, I kind of feel like the first three books in the Millennium series were better than the last three. Which is understandable since they are written by completely different authors.
Maybe it's the confusion or constantly being on the edge of my seat through the first three books. Or maybe it's the little bit of predictability in the last three. Not sure why I feel like things were off for me and this series but it just did.
I am, however, glad that I finally finished it and now know what to expect from everyone. Lisbeth will forever be a bad ass in my mind and I will love her until the day I die.

It was like a poorly done satirical pastiche of a Lisbeth Salandar book. Too many disconnected plot threads, too much over the top, theatrical action, too little actual plot or character development. I kept reading these books because I loved the character and world of Lizbeth Salandar, but there's so little of the character left in these books that I'm glad this was the last one.
Honestly, this series has not disappointed me. There's nonstop action, complex storylines threaded together, and badass characters. Lisbeth Salander is not the sole focus of this novel, as with the other books, she shares the spotlight pretty equally with her friend, the famed journalist, Mikael Blomkvist. Lisbeth has been focused on taking out her family and ridding the world of their evil presence, she's located her sister in Russia and nothing is going to stop her from finally ending it all. Blomkvist on the other hand is wrapped up in a little mystery, that at first, doesn't even seem worth his time investigating. A homeless man found dead on the streets with no identity, the police can't identify him using dental fingerprints, or DA so Mikael is trying to reach Lisbeth to help him identify the man. The trouble is, when she doesn't want to be found, she won't be. Soon enough their separate "tasks" end up crossing wires and they are in each other's business whether or not they want to be. Intriguing and unique, although I could have gone with a more drawn out ending. It seemed to wrap up so quickly! I wonder what they'll get into next!
