The Girl Who Lived Twice by David Lagercrantz
3.0

The Girl Who Lived Twice was a disappointment. I loved Stieg Larsson's first three books and I was cautiously optimist about the books that David Lagercrantz wrote. Book 4 and 5 were great, but this one was a let-down. Lagercrantz getting to the heart of Salander and Blomkvist and writing intense scenes. However, I did not care about the political drama that was the majority of this book.

After finishing this book, I decided to read up on how many books Lagercrantz was planning on writing and discovered that The Girl Who Lived Twice will be the last one. He announced that in 2017, so I wonder if his heart was in this one?? Larsson had intended the Millennium series to be 10 books long. It is such a bummer that we won't know where Larsson had intended to take Lisbeth Salander. I am very curious to see if another author will take up the reigns or if this is the end of the series. Honestly, I would love to see one last book go out with a bang! And this book just wasn't it.
