A review by jahcoffman
The Girl Who Lived Twice by David Lagercrantz

4.0

I originally read this book right after its 2019 release. I’ve reread the entire series to read the next (by Karen Smirnoff) installment. I think time and the rereading really changed my view on the second trilogy. Salander is a peripheral character in these books with almost superhuman/ superhero themes. Each of Lagercrantz’s books are compelling as standalone stories but really push the boundaries of the absurd in the full Salander trajectory. I’m choosing to leave my previous ratings but hope Smirnoff takes a different path with her book (books?). I’ll keep reading anything involving Salander but… hope the suspension of disbelief gets easier.
