The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz
4.0

Rating: 4.5 stars

I really enjoyed The Girl in the Spider's Web, but not nearly as much as the previous three books in the Millennium series. I missed Stieg Larsson so much while reading this book simply because it lacked the spark and intensity of the original books in the series. Having said that, the book is very well written and I was thoroughly entertained. It could have been much longer; I wanted the story to continue, instead it ended quite abruptly. I feel that the one obvious mistake Lagercrantz made was having the two main characters separated until literally the very last page. The best parts of the original three books were when Lisbeth and Mikael were together. I look forward to the next book in the series.
