INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER Lisbeth Salander is back with a vengeance. The series that began with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo continues as brilliant hacker Lisbeth Salander teams up with journalist Mikael Blomkvist to uncover the secrets of her childhood and to take revenge. Lisbeth Salander—obstinate outsider, volatile seeker of justice for herself and others—seizes on a chance to unearth her mysterious past once and for all. And she will let nothing stop her—not the Islamists she enrages by rescuing a young woman from their brutality; not the prison gang leader who passes a death sentence on her; not the deadly reach of her long-lost twin sister, Camilla; and not the people who will do anything to keep buried knowledge of a sinister pseudoscientific experiment known only as The Registry. Once again, Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist are the fierce heart of a thrilling full-tilt novel that takes on some of the world's most insidious problems.

The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye

Definitely feels like there's something missing, which is a shame as I love this series. While the last book still had echoes of Larsson, it really feels devoid of his voice this time around.

Not bad. I think the sentence structure and general flow suffered in the translation, unless the writing style was stilted to begin with. Sufficiently intriguing for me to go back and read the rest of the series at some point.

A Lisbeth Salander Novel, Continuing Stieg Larsson's Millennium

Andy Sporring

I find it really good but to be honest not as good as the previous books.

Fraser Simons

Why does somebody who has no interest in the characters and the spirit of original trilogy continue to write these books? There is again no character development to speak of, all them actually feel like they never had arcs and remain static so buddy can think up contrived plot lines. 

Salander is again toothless and relegated to a secondary plot thread for the most part, with Micke, who is actually never called that again I think?, is investigating everything and tying it all together. Who cares that she’s better than him about it because when she knows she just doesn’t feel like telling anybody anything except for little hints. Again, all the character progression from the original movies just being erased. 

It’s tropey as hell again too. More twins. Of course there’s Muslim extremists demonstrating how shitty they are to women. It’s all just so contrived and not bolstered with a larger political stance yet again. The author clearly has nothing to say—whether through the characters or through the premise or plot. It’s a cash cow being milked. A standard arrangement for a thriller with a kind or mystery. Which, had it been arranged different, would have actually been far more compelling too. And on top of that, when it does flashbacks there is suddenly no formatting so it’s actually annoying to read it. 

Had the end actually been a prologue—especially considering it’s uhhh the f*ing past—the mystery would have been planted right away. He could have teased a part of WHY Lisbeth is in prison at the start beyond the original excuse as well as planting a little seed of what the heck happened in those woods? And then each part just continued those stories until the woods come up again. 

Instead it’s been arranged in as boring a way as is possible. We are neither allowed to hear the inner workings of most characters, nor do we get prose that actually explain anything. It’s completely sterile throughout. This guy hates similes. I guarantee you this is a “show, don’t tell” author, ironically who just doesn’t show very well at all. 

The result is very, I don’t know, “meh”, thriller. At least it was shorter than the last one, though.

The Millennium Series is my favourite crime thriller series...but I have to admit I don't like how the "new" Lisbeth is portrayed in Lagercrantz's books. She is definitely not the same girl from the first three books I have come to love.

Loved it!! But seriously, what's not to love!
Seamless continuation of an amazing series.
Thanks

Not as good as earlier books in the series.. but Lisbeth Salander makes it worth reading.

Judy Hudgins

Can this series continue? I sincerely hope so. All a ends beautifully woven together makes such a great read.

The sixth in the Millennium series featuring THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO - more than 100 million copies sold worldwide. *** "SALANDER IS CENTRE-STAGE . . . A PACY READ" SUNDAY EXPRESS "A MURDER MYSTERY INSIDE AN ESPIONAGE CONSPIRACY WRAPPED IN AN ACTION THRILLER - SHOULD LEAVE SALANDER'S LEGION OF FOLLOWERS CLAMORING FOR MORE" WALL STREET JOURNAL *** "What are you going to do now?" "I will be the hunter and not the hunted." Lisbeth Salander's mentor and protector Holger Palmgren is dead, and she has been gone from Stockholm since his funeral. All summer, Mikael Blomkvist has been plagued by the fear that Salander's enemies will come after her. He should, perhaps, be more concerned for himself. In the pocket of an unidentified homeless man, who died with the name of a Swedish government minister on his lips, the police find a list of telephone numbers. Among them, the contact for Millennium magazine and the investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist. Following the scorched trail of her twin sister Camilla to Moscow, Salander nevertheless continues to watch over her old friend. Soon Blomkvist will need her help. But first, she has an old score to settle; and fresh outrage to avenge. The next episode in David Lagercrantz's acclaimed continuation of Stieg Larsson's Dragon Tattoo series is a thrilling ride that scales the heights of Everest and plunges the depths of Russia's criminal underworld. In a climax of shattering violence, Lisbeth Salander will face her nemesis. For the girl with the dragon tattoo, the personal is always political - and ultimately deadly.
