An action-packed, satisfying end to the trilogy. I'm slightly miffed that these characters are done, since I've grown to know them so well. And all of them! From Lisbeth to Blomkvist to Berger and even Giannini, I am sad to say goodbye to them.

I think I've kind of just accepted Blomkvist for what he is, going from woman to woman, but I think that's okay by me since most of the other leads in the book are women, and women I like a lot. I'm unsure I've seen so many strong female characters in one place, especially in a popular bestseller. I like it.

The trial scene was particularly riveting, as well as the fantastic dramatic irony at play between the Section, the cops, the SIS and the journalists. I felt like one of the players in it all, a powerful one, since I could see what each person was doing. Even Berger's slightly off-track storyline about her new job was good to me, as I've really grown to like her as a character.

Thoroughly enjoyable series, and I think each book was more interesting than the last.
