Fiction. Science Fiction & Fantasy. HTML:

Translated by Andrew Bromfield

Night Watch and Day Watch, the first two books in this remarkable series, established Sergei Lukyanenko as a breathtakingly bold talent. Part fantasy, part vampire story, and part detective potboiler, this is the most successful science fiction series of all time in Russia and a true international sensation. In America, Fox Searchlight released the film adaptation of Night Watch to rapturous reviews, and adaptations of the next two books are in production.

The world of Lukyanenko is as elaborate and imaginative as Tolkien or the best Asimov: Living among us are the "Others," an ancient race of humans with supernatural powers who swear allegiance to either the Dark or the Light. A thousand-year treaty has maintained the balance of power, and the two sides coexist in an uneasy truce.

In Twilight Watch, the Others face their greatest threat yet. A renegade Other, his identity as yet unknown, has absconded with a fabled spell-book of untold power and appears bent on attacking the entire earth. Now forces of the Light and the Dark -- the Night Watch and the Day Watch -- must cooperate to stop him. Anton, the hero from Night Watch, is back, but when the culprit turns out to be none other than his partner, the race against time becomes more urgent than ever. In a world where reality and magic commingle, and where different degrees of existence are layered one atop the other, nothing is ever quite what it seems.

El difícil equilibrio entre la Luz y las Tinieblas, los dos bandos que habitan la realidad paralela del Crepúsculo, puede romperse definitivamente: al parecer, un mortal conoce la existencia de los Otros y quiere unirse a ellos. Tres guardianes comienzan a investigar el caso en un lujoso edificio de apartamentos de Moscú. A muchos kilómetros de allí, en una cabaña del bosque, una misteriosa mujer oculta el libro del sortilegio que puede convertir a un humano en un ser del Crepúsculo. Una obra extremadamente original, que combina intriga, acción, magia y esoterismo con un trasfondo filosófico que profundiza en la relatividad del bien y del mal, en la idea de libertad, etc.

In my opinon the best part so far. Though it was inner-monologue and dialogue heavy as always, the flow of reading was smoother than in the books before.
As for the German edition, I have the impression that the translation, which was a problem at some points in the previous books, is improving. ( )

The final volume of the series sees matters wrapped up nicely and the questions Anton Gorodetsky has been asking since the first volume answered. This is a more even set of three stories than The Daywatch, without the difficulties of diverse viewpoints intruding but cannot match the impact of the first volume. ( )

By this point, my reaction is "meh". ( )

As always, an excellent book in an excellent series, although a bit weaker than the previous two volumes. This time, our second level magician, Anton, is tasked to look into a request of a human to become an other.... of course, this is an impossibility, or is it?

Generally, these books follow three interconnected vignettes -but this one has two. In the first story, Anton must tract which human made the request, and which other the request was made to. This brings in the Day watch as well as the Inquisition.

The next story has Anton on vacation - feeling confused about how the human wanting to be a Other ended- with his wife Svetlana and their talented two year old daughter. An encounter with an unregistered witch leaves to revelations about what it means to be Other.

Where this book shines is just how grounded Anton is - his motivations are torn as he learns more about the watches. It will be interesting to see how this world changes, especially when Antons very powerful daughter comes into her powers. ( )
