3.5⭐️ out of 5
The Girl in the Eagle's Talons is the 7th book in the Millennium series, aka The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. Stieg Larsson created the series and wrote the first three books but sadly passed away before they were published. David Lagercrantz was hired by the publisher to write the next three books. This book is Karin Smirnoff's first crack at continuing the story of Lisbeth Salander.
In my opinion, book 7 is comparable to the fourth and fifth books written by David Lagercrantz. By that I mean, there's enough going on to hold my interest and a decent attempt is made to remain true to foundation of the characters. They don't hold a candle to that original trilogy but that's next to an impossible task in my view. Karin Smirnoff did a good job moving things in a bit of a new direction and that has left me reenergized at what's to come with future books.
Thank you @aaknopf for sending me an advance reader's copy!
