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...

Don't be put off by the terrible movie that was made from this book. It and its successors in the series are worth reading. There is much that is alien and different in the fantasy story of the continuing struggle between good and evil. Most of it comes not from the world that Lukyanenko constru...

This might have been a 3.5 but I was just itching for it to end so I demoted it a half star. I had such high hopes for this book and though they weren't completely dashed, they were in no way lived up to. After the initial paranormal bits, which are at first confusing and afterwards a bit annoying, ...

Ako volite "one preopširne Ruse", lako ćete se navići na Lukjanjenka. Ako vam ruska književnost i nije simpatična, "Straže" će taj (pogrešan!) stav uzdrmati. Priloženi tekst odobren je za distribuciju, jer je koristan strani Svetla. - Noćna straža Priloženi tekst odobren je za distribuciju, ...

Ok. So this wasn't necessarily as great as other books I've given 5 stars to, and I'll admit it took a little while for me to warm up to it. Once I did though, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It's a Russian urban fantasy. Harry Dresden meets 90s Russia and the disenchantment found there, plus ...

~~MOVED FROM GR~~ Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (Translated by Andrew Bromfield) "You find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides." --Terry Pratchett...

An interesting set of three stories. Pivoting around Anon, a young other (those who can access the twilight, the magical otherworld that's all around us) who is learning about his place in the war against evil. However the fight is somewhat modified by the fact that good and evil exist in a state...
