I liked Sylvain Runberg's sequel better than the first book. I found the plot was better explained, allowing readers to grasp more of the complexity of Stieg Larsson's Scandinavian noir masterpieces. We are also provided the key backstories that led to the brilliant Lisbeth Salander: her family and what followed when the family was dissolved. Not sure why the artist changed from the first book, but I thought the drawings of Lisbeth were less consistent in the sequel. Nonetheless, looking forward to Book #3. ( )
