I couldn't wait to start the second novel in the Millennium trilogy, having recently finished the first.

The Girl Who Played with Fire continues to build on the characters and settings introduced before. The primary focus of the novel is an exposition of its heroine's past and personality. She is a truly fascinating character, with enough depth and complexity to drive the story with a relentless pace.

The whodunnit nature of the plot is also excellently carried out, with a real mystery and an increasing sense of time running out.

I cannot wait to start with the third and final novel in this series.
