The Girl in the Eagle's Talons by Karin Smirnoff
1.0
A toothless dragon and a bumbling Blomkvist. I’m not fully sure what went wrong but The Girl in the Eagles talons just simply doesn’t go anywhere.
It introduces far too many characters and gives them nothing to do, adds threats that go nowhere and a mysterious villain who makes 70s Bond villains seem hammy. Add the a precocious teen and you’ve got a sequel by numbers.
This was a struggle to finish unfortunately and I did nearly give in at several points. I hope this is just a new author finding their feet in an established world as the fundamental strengths of these characters are currently awol.
