Contrary to what some said, I think it is inconceivable to undertake a reading of this second album without having read the first before. While the first volume of the story revolves around the character of Mikael Blomkvist, the frame of the second centers on Lisbeth Salander and especially its dramatic past that will be the heart of this plot. On his way out, all the questions still present on his childhood and the conditions of its guardianship will be lifted.
In contrast to the first part, this second volume is more like a thriller than a detective story. The writing and style are more dynamic and action taken more often not on the story. Quoiqu'agréable to read, I found no real interest in the first part explains the lack of Lisbeth Salander. Then the plot on state secrets and intelligence background is well developed. Sometimes a little too convoluted, it countered the author to use some facilities like the end, I found relatively disappointing as idealistic and generally very predictable.
The first two volumes of Millennium are excellent and captivating works, written in a fluid style, which despite their size, can be quickly read so they exude a suspense that is hard clinch.
