** spoiler alert ** Flickan som lekte med elden is the second book in the Millennium trilogy, and the first part of a story arc that continues in Luftslottet som sprängdes. If you add both books together, the whole story arc spans a little over 1,300 pages, which I guess could pass for an excuse for the first 200 pages of Flickan som lekte med elden; they contain little action, are almost a chore to get through, and do nothing more than establish the main plot (the murders that set everything off don't occur until page 218-ish (in my copy)). I liked the first book of the trilogy, Män som hatar kvinnor; it was a pretty run-of-the-mill thriller and it knew it. Flickan som lekte med elden is much more ambitious, with a lot of (read: an almost countless number of) characters, investigations, conspiracies and plot threads running alongside one another. After the neat wrapped up ending of Män som hatar kvinnor this whole project of writing another book and turning it into a series seems almost gratuitous, but the promise of a neat resolution is what kept me reading this book (which, of course, I didn't get thanks to a not-really-cliffhanger ending). Writing wise, there were a couple of things which I forgave when reading Män som hatar kvinnor, but then Stieg Larsson insists on jamming them into this book as well, and they really are too annoying to be overlooked in a sequel: In my review of the first book I described the "ridiculously descriptive not-quite-purple-prose" as "perfectly Swedish in its neat preciseness". I stand by that description, and let it pass for one book, but it's getting old really fast: when the characters stop for lunch, I don't need to know which brand name fast food place they visited, or which kind of menu meal they ordered; I'm not interested in what witty sayings Lisbeth Salander's T-shirts proclaim; I love computers as much as the next girl, but I couldn't care less about how many MB or GB the RAM or HD of the spare computer in Millennium's office is; etc. etc. I feel like I could go on like this forever. Also, while Larsson hasn't quite manage to turn me off Lisbeth Salander (she's still a rather fascinating character), Mikael Blomkvist is pretty much insufferable: he's as close to a Gary Stu that I've ever come across in fanfiction, and it's laughably obvious. I'll let his journalistic super skillz pass, but can't quite get over his horndog ways, because it kind of ties into the weird sexist undertones of the trilogy; so far most (if not all) of the women I've come across while reading these books have been kickass awesome, beautiful and intelligent heroines (often gay or bi or sexually uninhibited), while the men have been sexist, neanderthal scum (and, more often than not, straight), with the noticeable exception of Mikael Blomkvist himself, a man so suave and so incredibly sensitive to the plight of the modern female that, by merely existing, he is able to cause all panties in a five hundred mile radius to spontaneously combust. Again, it's like Larsson's trying too hard; if you ignore the fact that he's basically going after the Establishment, his characterizations are so impossibly politically correct that they kind of turn into parodies of themselves. Then again, he was the editor in chief of Expo (read: Millennium), so I'm not that surprised. As a side note, I'm kind of curious as to why Paolo Roberto is suddenly a supporting character. Larsson could have easily created an original character, but instead he takes a famous Swedish boxer and sticks him into the book and turns it into professionally published RPF (Real Person Fiction). Though, judging from the characterization, I wouldn't be surprised if Paolo passed Larsson a big, fat check and said "let me be in your book, and make me look good". He definitely got his money's worth.
