A review by shebbyreads
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson

dark tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I found the first two books to be so boring, like painfully so. This book tied everything together and even though my fav Lisbeth was unconscious for the first portion of the book it was a million times more interesting than the first book specifically.
