I loved "The girl with the dragon tattoo". So I couldn't wait to dive into his next one. I must say it was hard to get into. I think this book could have been great with at least a third of it gone. The real story didn't start until you were well past page 400. However, even then it did it's wandering into things that didn't really matter. It would get really intense and start to flow, then the next chapter would be something way off in left field and you had to find your way back into the flow again. For me it made it hard to read and had to come back to it again and again while I read other books in between.
I am torn between reading the last one or not.
Overall a nice read, but not one that I would put into my collection.

I was excited, after 9 years, to finally be able to dive into the last book of this series. However, I must say that this book could have been one third it's size. Such a disappointing read. Lots of repetition and how many caves can you go into and how much of the land, that we already have read described in the previous books, and the Mother's Song must we have to wade though to get to the plot? I ended up skimming pages because there just seemed to be so much filler description of caves and landscapes. This book, sadly was boring for me. I still love the series and Valley of the Horses is my favorite, so it is worth the read. It's just disappointing to wait so long and then have a dud concluding book, I would suggest just ending with book 5.
