The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye
by David Lagercrantz
8th Best Book of 2017!
The last two pages (before the epilogue) were disappointing -4.5*
I've absolutely LOVED travelling to Sweden everyday and it has just made my commute 1000% better. I think I was so amazed by the last one (#4) that I found this one kinda disappointing. I mean it did have the same elements as the Millennium series so far, obviously missing Stieg Larsson's flair.
I'm just really pissed because the last three pages were rushed and sort of ruined the ending of the book for me. The whole plot was overshadowed by something else and I sort of hated it. Salander was like Salander but she wasn't everything I loved about Salander (as she was stuck in a prison for the majority). I didn't like the flashbacks and I know it made sense to the story but honestly I don't feel like they worked. I prefer Blomkvist telling the story and the flashbacks sort of removed that. He also wasn't the shining detective that was so evident in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the presence of Millennium was really lost, despite this being the title of the series.
Yeah, I enjoyed it and I'll read the next one but kind of disappointing.
