#1 INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER • Lisbeth Salander returns, in a trailblazing new installment to the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series • Also known as the Millennium series

Change is coming to Sweden’s far north: its untapped natural resources are sparking a gold rush with the criminal underworld leading the charge. But it’s not the prospect of riches that brings Lisbeth Salander to the small town of Gasskas. She has been named guardian to her niece Svala, whose mother has disappeared. Two things soon become clear: Svala is a remarkably gifted teenager—and she’s being watched.

Mikael Blomkvist is also heading north. He has seen better days. Millennium magazine is in its final print issue, and relations with his daughter are strained. Worse still, there are troubling rumors surrounding the man she’s about to marry. When the truth behind the whispers explodes into violence, Salander emerges as Blomkvist’s last hope.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Lisbeth Salander is back—and maybe better than ever. Karin Smirnoff’s take is both respectful of the past and ready for the future—altogether remarkable.”—Lee Child, author of No Plan B

“An absolute incident-packed thrill-ride from start to finish. Karin Smirnoff has taken on the legacy of a legend and done the series justice.”—Jo Spain, author of The Perfect Lie

“Smirnoff’s writing is wonderfully vivid. If books were birds, this would be a raptor diving towards its prey with brutal agility.”—Anna Bailey, author of Where the Truth Lies

Disappointed

I agree with the others, this author doesn’t know the main character nor sufficiently explains various secondary plot points. However keeping the same narrator is a plus.

Needs to end.

I like the series a lot and was new to it. The first three was peak and the following 3 books were good too, but this is the worst of them. The story is Very disjointed, with lots of sub plots that seem to happen out of nowhere and make it hard to follow. It feels very choppy with things happening because the writer says it happens rather than the story unfolding naturally like in the previous books.
The characters seem lost and different, they’re losing their charm.
I just want it to end.

could have been better

I have been a big fan of the Lizbeth Salendar books and have enjoyed listening to them repeatedly. Like other readers I was disappointed. The story development was disjointed and hard to follow. The characters were not fully developed or as vivid as in the Stieg Larson books. The flashbacks also were confusing. Would be willing to give this writer another try. I think I will listen to it again. It might come together a bit more.

Not the best in the series

I have loved this series but the writing for this book was not good. It is scattered and becomes incoherent at some places. If this is where we are in the series, let’s not do another book.

Almost

But not quite as good as the previous books. I liked the story but it needed more …something, and a better ending.

Choppy

This last book is not quite as good as the rest of the series. This one jumps around with too big a jump in narrative.

Disappointing

I couldn’t believe this was part of gen series. The characters are like entirely different people and the storyline was boring.

More confusing but good

Just need to listen more closely that the other books. Many characters and some time jumping.

Vance makes the most with a so-so plot

While I'm a fan of Vance's narration, this story was discombobulated. Definitely not as strong as the first five books, I struggled to stay with the book until the end. Here's hoping that the next entry improves on the story.

Way too disjointed.

This book was a let down. Loved the first six stories. Couldn’t wait for this one to end. First two writers great. Last one (Karin) not so much.
