A review by gadrake
The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye by David Lagercrantz

3.0

In harmony with the other Lisbeth Salander novels, here she has a more moderate subdued role sharing the spotlight with journalist Mikael Blomkvist and a new interesting character.

Readers learn the meaning of the famous dragon tattoo on Lisbeth’s back! Will also learn more about her dysfunctional childhood even as she continues her role as an avenging angel.

The central theme of this novel is nature versus nurture and evil scientists. Lagercrantz' inherited this series from Stieg Larsson and as one reviewer put it, "his version lacks some of Larsson's ironic touch and politically charged contempt for the nasty undercurrents flowing beneath Sweden's clear waters."

That said, there is plenty of mayhem. Good escapist read.
