A review by melmmh
The Girl in the Eagle's Talons by Karin Smirnoff
3.0
Special thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a free electronic ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest review. Anticipated publication date August, 29, 2023.
I am an absolute die hard fan of the original trilogy that started the Millennium series - Stieg Larsson was an unbelievably talented writer.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was a fast paced, edge of your seat psychological thriller that introduced me to a whole new genre I’d previously not explored.
After Larsson’s death in 2004, the subsequent books written by carefully chosen replacement authors all had their various flaws and highlights, and this newest release is no exception.
The Girl in the Eagle’s Talons by new (to this series) author Karin Smirnoff is described as, “A pulse-pounding thriller, The Girl in the Eagle’s Talons sees Salander and Blomkvist navigating a world of conspiracy and betrayal, old enemies and new friends, ice-bound wilderness and the global corporations that threaten to tear it apart.”
I did find it hard to follow due to it being an uncorrected version (there were no chapter breaks, multiple POVs I found hard to follow, the writing didn’t flow as smoothly as in previous Salander adventures) but I persevered through as I was interested in the conclusion of the story.
Fans of the series will enjoy this newest release as we see the return of well loved characters Lisbeth & Mikael, with the addition of Salander’s niece and ward Svala. I enjoyed it for what it was, and will definitely pick up the subsequent novels when/if they continue to be released!
2.5/5 stars rounding up to 3 for love of the series!!
