It was enjoyable but not as good as the previous ones. I felt the two story lines were running concurrently, but it felt quiet forced how they eventually joined up together. Normally it feels more natural. This time I felt like it was rushed and messy.

O final foi bastante emocionante, mas poucos personagens são tão perfeitinhos quanto Mikael. Um bom final, um livro ok.

Overall, the plots and subplots were quite interesting. However the dialogs seemed very forced and unnatural. 

I don't know if it was because of the translation or if it was due to the original text itself.

Good story

A little long in places. It is nice to continue with these characters and see how they develop. Waiting on another.

I certainly appreciate Lagercrantz keeping the series up...they don't quite compare to the originals, IMO, but they are still good. Like the last one, I wished there was more interaction between Blomquist and Salander, but the plot was easy enough to follow and I liked being back in Sweden. There were some parts that were a little too yucky, but that was relatively brief.
