Review: The Girl in the Eagle's Talons

The Girl in the Eagle's TalonsThe Girl in the Eagle's Talons by Karin Smirnoff
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Earlier books in the series - gritty, with Salander as a social oddity. This book - Salander converses well, and reminded me of Robin in the Batman series. She could fit in anywhere. She has lost the outsider feel. This felt like a definitive jumping of the shark for this series. Not a total loss, though, there was some humor here that wasn't in earlier novels, and there was still action and oddball badguys, but they felt more comic book that real.
