Salander is in the hospital after Blomkvist found her and is slowly recovering, while her dad is alive in the same hospital some doors down. The police is as confused as ever, but finally they start to consider alternative theories to the big mess they got themselves into. Salander finds out she has her own small army and they will try to correct all the wrong done to her, while their enemies will try to discredit her yet again.

The final volume (for now) of the original Millennium series picks up right where the second book ended. And the amazing ride continues! It is incredible how the suspense keeps going even though the story was sort of finished in the last book. What an amazing writer! I followed every character like each was the main priority of the book. I loved the sudden changes in the pace and the mysteries untold. What is more incredible is that the story always feels real, there is no bit that makes it feel "too much". I am in awe of these last two books.
