The Girl in the Eagle's Talons is an interesting continuation of the series. Although there has been much criticism from the community, I didn’t find the book as awful as people make it seem.

The book is fairly paced; it’s a bit slow at the beginning but makes up for it midway through. The story unfolds through various viewpoints, offering insights and building intrigue at times, which is interesting in a sense, but it can also cause confusion in certain sections.

The distinction between characters' thoughts and spoken words is sometimes unclear at the beginning, which adds to the complexity of the narrative. However, once you get used to it, it becomes much easier to determine which thoughts and spoken words belong to which character.

In the end, it’s a very nice and fast read. Now, it's time to wait for the continuation of the story.
