“While the author of the blockbuster Millennium series has changed, Simon Vance has been the consistent narrator of the audiobooks. Vance created the voices and masterfully embodies the personalities of the indomitable computer hacker Lisbeth Salander, the journalist Mikael Blomkvist, and the other characters whom listeners have followed through the series…Vance’s extraordinary talent comes through in the tense dramatic scenes involving a research study of twins gone awry and in his special ability to differentiate men, women, young, and old from all over the globe. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

“Wonderful. It would be hard to imagine a sequel more faithful to its work of origin than this one..[Salander] emerges as the most dramatic, charismatic and effective investigator of them all: weak in social skills but unmatched in speaking blunt truth to corrupt power.”

“Imbued with a grit and gumption that would make Larsson proud.”

“The enduring draw at the center of the Millennium series is that image of a strange and solitary young woman trying to even the score with all manner of bullies by dint of her brains and, when called for, some martial arts moves.”

“Somewhere, beyond the grave in the Great Hereafter, Stieg Larsson must be smiling…Swedish journalist and author David Lagercrantz has produced a multilayered and even better thriller this time around in his second outing continuing Larsson’s Millennium series, crafting an intricate web of intrigue…Lagercrantz is a master.”

“This book is a worthy successor to Larsson’s trilogy. But, The Girl Who Takes an Eye also feels like a tipping point, in which Lagercrantz begins to march the saga in a direction all his own.”
— Paste magazine

“Lagercrantz succeeds in carefully staying true to the framework created by the late Stieg Larsson…In this new world where everything is suspect, including proclaimed facts, it is the dragons that protect and avenge the downtrodden.”
