The Twilight Watch Watch Book 3 Sergei Lukyanenko Books

I tried initially to surmise this series almost as "Harry Potter for adults," but that approach doesn't even come close. While Lukyanenko and Rowling utilize some of the same storytelling tools, Rowling can not even come close on subtlty and red herrings. Lukyanenko can bring you through an entire storyline thinking you have the entire plot foresen, and, in the final ten pages, tell you your wrong and explain why the situation was completely different from what you thought, without introducing any new information or plot points, or forcing you to have memorized one esoteric fact that links the plot together.

This book, similarly to Night Watch, focus on the actions of Anton, the Night Watch operative from the prior two books. He has advanced in power significantly, and continues to strive for fighting for the Light while simultaneously fighting off the crushing despair that the fight is not only impossible to win, but that they are no better than the forces of Darkness, and that fighting has robbed him of his remaining humanity.

Parts of the story delve into the philosophy of magic and the nature of some of the Others, from the "lowly" vampires to the Higher Magicians, without making magic the be-all, end-all that it is in, oh, let us call it Potter-World. Many of the abilities commonly used are little more than tricks of hypnosis, and initially made me think more of Jedi than practicers of magic. Several comments are made about humans being aware of the Others, and actively working against them, and while they're relatively easy to keep under watch, the Others still can't take their eyes off them.

The book strikes a good balance between the utilization of magic and using it as a constant deus ex machina. What it continually comes down to is the intelligence and will of the characters involved, not a usage of spells or Power. While this volume introduces a spellbook of tremendous power, the story isn't solely about the book, but also about the forces of Light, Darkness, and the Inquisition all work at cross purposes, which each trying to manipulate the others and even themselves to come out ahead, even by a centimeter.

The Twilight Watch Watch Book 3 Sergei Lukyanenko Books Reviews

Well written third installment. You have to read this series. Makes you consider the very thin, attenuated line in the balancing of good and evil. This author has carefully considered all aspects of his characters painting a complicated world of grey tinges when morailty is considered between Good and Evil.
This was my favorite book in the series so far. I liked that the three parts followed the stories of the same characters, and I thought the overarching plot line was really interesting. The second story was my favorite because Arina was a very interesting and complex character. My one complaint was that the resolution of the overall plot felt a bit rushed and under-explained.
I have read the first two books and this third does not disappoint. Just like the first two books, this book is divided into parts with (what will become evident later) a common story arc. It is a joy to read. You should not jump to this book without reading the first two, even if you have seen the first two movies, which are just parts of the first book. It is a very intelligent yet understated book. The imagery of the last few pages really affected me. On to the fourth!
This series is the best I've read in a long time! The characters are clearly written and easy to like, or not. The story kept me glued to the page, as surprise after surprise greets the characters. This book follows well on the heels of the two before it, yet is different enough not to be repetitive or dull. I'm recommending this series to everyone I know!
An excellent entry into the series, again broken into three parts and again with a common theme. If you haven't read the first several, start at the beginning, you'll be glad you did.

Things continue to get more and more gray for our erstwhile hero Anton in this fourth installment. The question on the lips of everyone throughout is "can you turn a human into an Other?"

What they really should be asking is "how bad is it when you do?"
I got into this series because my high school crush was into it. It never worked out with her but the this is one of my top five series of any form of fiction. So you win some you lose some.
The "Watch" series is a real tour de force. I got hooked on the books by first seeing the movie " Night Watch" and its sequel " Day Watch", as a matter of fact I have watched both movies about 4 times now that they are on Netflix. Lukyanenko is now up to 5 volumes in the series and I will be getting "New Watch" as soon as it is released. The books are basically an examination of good vs evil by use of excellent mystery/thriller/ scifi storytelling and Lukyanenko is a master of all three genres. This is the best series I have read since Phillip Jose Farmer's "Riverworld" epic.
