I didn't like the sequel either. IMHO, the estate of Stieg Larsson picked the wrong writer. Before writing the sequel, David Lagercrantz's only claim to fame was ghostwriting the biography of a soccer player largely unknown outside of Sweden.
The sequel would have been much better, if they had picked another established Nordic thriller writer, e.g., Håkan Nesser, Jo Nesbų, Arnaldur Indrišason or Jussi Adler-Olsen.
