Why was this book so boring? There was no excitement to any of it. I had to push myself to finish (or browse to finish just to know how it ended and then walk away). These are the characters we were obsessed with just ten years ago. Now I could care less. This serves as a reminder that things should be allowed to end. You don't have to continue with a franchise. It's okay to let things exist as they ended. I can see that Lagercrantz tried but he didn't understand these characters nor the importance of their endeavors.

I know I will be in the minority in regards to my opinions of this book but at least I tried to read the damn thing. Can we just stop with this push to continue stories that clearly have ended? This is why I respect Richard K. Morgan's writing so damn much. He will not continue a story if he feels that there is nothing left to write. I'm beginning to believe that this should apply to the Millennium stories as well.
