In Smirnoff’s continuation, we meet a new character: Svala, Salander’s code-cracking niece. Svala’s mother has gone missing and Salander is called on by social services to look after the 13-year-old – about which the asocial Salander’s first thought is: “Fucking hell!”

I love it. Either it’ll be a good takedown or a horribly cringey hot take on podcasts. Hopefully the former! Has anyone read any of the novels beyond the first three by Larsson? I loved those but...
[…] Mikael Blomkvist, a womanising reporter who works for Millennium, an investigative magazine that – to his dismay – has turned into a podcast.

Has anyone read any of the novels beyond the first three by Larsson? I loved those but it just seemed wrong to continue the novels once he died (and against the wishes of his widow) so I never paid much attention to them.
I read the first three, and then never again looked at the series or films because: Trigger/content warning... I was, not long after, assaulted, and I feel extremely uncomfortable watching movies...

Trigger/content warning...
I was, not long after, assaulted, and I feel extremely uncomfortable watching movies or reading about sexual assault. Sharing not for sympathy, but just because it's true and I'm sure many others are in similar mindsets when they decide to avoid movies, books, or other media.
I am aware of Larrson's explanation for having written the books, and this isn't a critique of him. Rather I feel, more broadly, SA as a 'character development' plot device or whatever is overused and quite frankly tiring.
Anyway, here's a great resource for anyone who's looking to avoid a whole range of triggering topics in movies/books/etc: Does the dog die.
That’s a very understandable reason to stay away from this series, especially since it’s so core to Lisbeth’s development and the novel itself (and is even more obvious when the original title of...
That’s a very understandable reason to stay away from this series, especially since it’s so core to Lisbeth’s development and the novel itself (and is even more obvious when the original title of the first novel was “Men Who Hate Women”). It’s not just one scene either, it permeates the whole work.
I've kept up with the series. David Lagercrantz's trilogy isn't bad per-se, but it pales compared to Millennium. It took some plot points that were campy and took them to eleven. Stuck in an...

Stuck in an airport with multiple connecting flights? That'd be a good reason to read it... otherwise, no.
