The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye by David Lagercrantz

3.0

I love Lisbeth Salander. She's one of the strongest female characters in modern day literature. When Mr. Larsson passed away unexpectedly after the third novel - I had thought she was gone too. Then Mr. Lagercrantz was given permission by Mr. Larsson's dad and brother to write a fourth one. (it did not, unfortunately, use the rumored fourth manuscript...not sure if that will ever come to light.) That fourth novel was okay but it was woefully clear that it wasn't as fantastic of a web of plot lines as we were used to. This latest attempt - The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye - is a better attempt at writing a story of worthy of Lisbeth. While it still isn't as intricate and spellbinding as Mr. Larsson's three stories - it is still a good read. I hope this is a sign of a continued upswing on the quality of books featuring Lisbeth Salander.
