** spoiler alert **
Jaw. Dropped.
Yeah, I’m marking for spoilers because I don’t feel like I can talk about this book without referencing them.
So much going on. So many intricacies. Miriam Wu. The insane boxing match with Wu and Paulo Roberto and Niedermann. I don’t care how many sandwiches and coffee she eats, I love reading about everything Salander does. Her growth as she starts to figure out how she’s hurt people by not communicating with them!
And that beginning? Kick-butt. And the reappearance of Palmgren! Bjurman’s futile attempts to undo Salander. Basically, everything involving Salander.
But enough dithering. I know we’re all here to talk about that ending.
Y’all, I was SO upset when Zalachenko was like “She’s dead� and buries her. I was worried I wasn’t going to be able to finish the book, and it’s not even like there was too much left. I just...couldn’t take it. Had to pause for a while. Hit like a Shakespearean-level tragedy. BUT. THEN. SHE. GETS. UP. I was like Zalachenko’s gonna lose his MIND. Her tiredly attacking him in the shed was so vivid. Her final release of the gun at the end. I knew exactly what she was going to say, and I loved it.
Basically, I better get plenty of Salander in the next book. She’s the first character I’ve ever thought to myself “I Stan her.� Don’t know what you did, Larsson, but you made me love this scrappy little chick.
