The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest (original Swedish title is Luftslottet som sprängdes or The Air Castle That Blew Up) is the third, and final, book in the Millennium Trilogy by the late Steig Larsson.  It picks up immediately after the events previous installment, The Girl Who Played With Fire, so if you didn’t read that one you’ll be pretty lost to say the least, whereas you could have read The Girl Who Played With Fire without reading the first book The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.  I can’t say much about the plot of this one without spoiling much of the previous book.  This book does contain the familiar theme of the trilogy of women being abused and mistreated by society and finds Lisbeth Salander fighting for her life and to clear her name.
