Langercrantz is not Stieg Larson, but I admire the man for attempting to continue this beloved series. My undying fascination with Lisabeth Salander is the only thing that keeps me coming back. This installment was better than the fourth, but I've concluded this series will never again hold the magic of the first three.

The beginning was odd and didn't feel in line where the last book ended; so much was glossed over. The very things that made this series unique seems to have completely fallen by the side. The last 20% was thrilling, but it needed to be longer and least somewhat entertaining for the first 80%.

I still can't let Salander go just yet and will likely read the book 6.
