Not bad, but just not for me. I'm not keen on pastiche and this was very ... unoriginal. It felt like a story cobbled together with bits and pieces of other books: Sherlock Holmes, Conrad's The Secret Agent, some Chekhov...and possibly some early James Bond. The writing was consistently good an...
Having just finished this today I realise it's taken me 11 months to get through. Partly due to getting distracted by other books but mostly because it's split up into three sections and it became too easy to finish a part and then set it down. The book itself centres around Anton, a light one, who ...
A brilliant historical mystery set in Imperial Russia. If I had done it properly – started not from the book #6- I would have opened my review with “A great start for a very promising historical mystery series with one of the most interesting characters” But I read it unfortunately(or as very oft...
The Others walk the streets of Moscow, split into the Night Watch, those of the light who watch over the actions of the dark, and the Night Watch, who do the opposite, in the effort to maintain the balance between good and evil. This follows Anton, who stumbles across Svetlana and Egor, both unalign...
The first chapter-or prologue, as it is,-seemed fairly intriguing if a little badly written, but then it switched to first person narrative and, as with most other FPNs it got bad and continued to get worse still. I'm not in a place to be reading about Vampires that aren't Vampires, but are Vampires...

1. Noćna straža 2. Dnevna straža 3. Straža sumraka Četvrta knjiga o Inima briše granicu između bajke i stvarnosti potvrđujući legendarnog čarobnjaka Merlina kao istorijsku ličnost. Međutim, Lukjanjenkov Merlin, za razliku od Diznijevog, sve je samo ne dobrćudni bradonja. Napomene s prve strane...
1. Noćna straža 2. Dnevna straža (Ova bi trebalo da se zove Sumračna straža, kako bi se ispoštovala forma. To nije jedini "ustupak" prevodu, pa je zato najbolje čitati ih u originalu. (Kao i sve druge knjige, uostalom.)) Priloženi tekst nije od značaja strani Svetla. - Noćna straža Priloženi t...
