The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson


The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
Millennium Trilogy, Book 2
Publisher: Vintage (November 2011)
738 pages, eBook (purchased myself in a Trilogy Bundle for $29.99)
Book Rating: 4 Stars
Content Note: Includes Sexual Situations involving Minors, Violence and Swearing
I typically don’t like the second book in trilogies, because they largely setup everything for the final book without much happening. This book was definitely not lacking in action and provided answers to a lot of questions I had from the first book along the way. Lisbeth Salander’s character growth throughout this story was interesting to watch and though she was largely on her own through most of this book by her own choice, Mikael Blomkvist’s loyalty was unfailing and I loved his character here even more than in the first book. I look forward to reading the third and final book in this series, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.
