A review by beth_books_123
The Girl in the Eagle's Talons by Karin Smirnoff
5.0
I would like to thank Net Galley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This series is back on top form - 5*
I first fell in love with the Millennium series in 2014. It was my first introduction into Scandinavian literature. I was thrilled and obsessed when I read the trilogy. I was then devastated to find out of Larsson's suicide that he was so troubled writing these fantastic books and there would be no more. Thankfully, Lagercrantz took over the series for three books, which I found filled my need for Salander and Blomkvist but was missing something.
Fast forward to Smirnoff taking the reigns of the Millennium series. I feel whatever was missing by the previous author isn't noticeable in this book. I CONSUMED this book. I love conspiracies and theories; I really enjoyed the premise of the book. I liked the introduction of Salander's niece and how this showed new sides to a character we all well and truly love. Blomkvist was quite a side character in this book but it turned out I didn't really mind. The supporting characters and the plot was so strong that I had no time to miss Blomkvist.
I really hope Smirnoff continues the series because she's proven she has a true understanding of what the Millennium series is. She understands the complexities of the characters and the importance of a pacey, well-written and deeply thought out plot.
