I found the depiction of Salander to be pretty ableist. I think it was obvious she was autistic but she is painted as an antisocial freak. The sexual assault and violence was extremely jarring and I wish I had read a warning before reading the book. The ending left much to be desired and half of the plot felt like a drag when it wasn't about the main mystery
