Back in the early 2000s I kept hearing about The Millenium Trilogy and how amazing it was. I started The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo once and stopped, but then picked it up again a year later and made it all the way through. Even having a toddler, I finished the whole trilogy in a week. The first book took me three days and the next two only four. I blame these books for my reading obsession now.
This book was like meeting an old friend, even though the writer is different. This is great fan fiction, basically as Stieg Larsson passed away before the third book was finished. This one is written by the same author who finished #3.
Its long, incredibly detailed, although not quite as detailed as Larsson's books, and full of great characters, spme new, some old. Although Lisbeth Salander doesnt appear until about page 100, and she is definitely softer than the original character, I still enjoyed her. Maybe it's my fondness for people who are on the spectrum. I also loved August Balder, a boy on the spectrum who witnesses a murder, but is unable to give a description, or so it seems.
As always, Lisbeth is a defender of abused women and children and has the opportunity to punish a few men who defy her. I think at the end she would have been a lot more harsh toward one man than she was written in this book.
I'm not sure I will read the rest of the series, but I did enjoy revisiting this series.
