wow, this book was awesome! better than "day watch" it was really intriguing. i like all these books that discuss good and evil and the balance between and the idea of "Others" in the world who possess power. or do they? read this series if you like fantasy/good/evil/vampires/werewolves/magicians/sorceresses/althernate realities/that type of thing!

More enjoyable than the Day Watch book. Interesting convergence of the Watches and the Inquisition, fleshes out the ties etc. Does there *really* have to be another book?!

I enjoyed this one just as much as book 1; the three stories seemed to "fit" together better than in the last book. Very much enjoyed the "modern" baba yaga storyline.

This is the third book in the Night Watch series. I think it is called Twilight Watch int he U.S. This one was as good as the first, without any sex and is back to the point of view of Anton. He wonders if he is fighting on the right side.

OMG what an epic book! I really liked this collection of three stories, it was extremely easy to visualise it and also a great way to end the trilogy. Aaaand of course now I find out there are two more books! Goody goody!

This book continues where we left Anton and Sveta in Day Watch. They are now a family with the daughter they were destined to have. Although things can never go to easily for them. Mysteries abound and a fabled book is found once more. When their daughter is captured and her life is at stake, they bend the rules a bit, but do find an ally from an enemy. I was completely captivated by the story. I just couldn't put it down. Lukyanenko has definitely created a most intricate world with very specific rules. Sometimes I have to remember back to the other books to remember some detail. In this installment, we get some answers to questions that have been looming, but the ending is ready for another book. I think this series is great and that if you love science fiction, you really should give it a try.

Ganz gut, die Welt kam mir auch bekannt vor. Vielleicht ist doch was dran, dass ich die Wächter der Nacht schon als gelesen markiert hatte, auch wenn ich mich nicht mehr dran erinnern kann... :D

Once again this holds three character connected stories following primarily the Night Watch's Anton as he first investigates the accusations that an Other has revealed all to a human and that they have offered to make the human an Other, a feat considered impossible by many. Here the Night Watch, Day Watch and Inquisition have to work together to protect their worlds from the human world with tense results dripping with doubt, distrust and conspiracy. The remaining two stories finds Anton and his holiday cut short as a witch of untold power and no real affiliation is found in the woods where Svetlana and Nadya have been holidaying. And it appears that she has in her possession a book that can in fact create an Other, which falls into wrong and rather inexperienced hands. Once again the writing is superb and the change of feel from the gritty streets of Moscow to the fresh open wilds of the Russian countryside really adds to the depth of the story and the characters that arise, particularly with Arina and her unfettered and unchanged world view. I did miss the presence of some of the earlier female characters, particularly Olga who hasn't made much of an appearance since the Night Watch stories. This did also seem to be weighted towards the side of the Light Ones despite the 'rules' that everything is to be in balance, particularly in the finale of the first story but as is traditional 'good' is meant to prevail over 'evil'. Still, this is an excellent volume that is well worth a read, I just hope the next volume returns to the earlier superbity of the first two volumes.

Enjoyed this book by far the most of the initial three. The story lines from the first 2 books in the series mature along with the characters. A more darker, introspective look at things. I'm happy ending this series here without going further with the 4th book.
