A review by phlegyas
The Twilight Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko
5.0
This is my favourite book out of the four that make up the series. New characters are introduced into the story, older characters are brought back from the first book, the events of the second book have set interesting predicaments and conditions and Lukyanenko's writing takes all these to the next level, in a book that remains true to his previous style, yet, it explores new foundations as characters develop beyond the levels/stages we got to know them in the previous books.
Without giving out any spoilers about the book, I can safely say that from start to finish, I could never possibly imagine what was about to unfold. Granted, the ending of the second book, "The Day Watch", was greatly more significant than the ending of this one here but as a whole, "The Twilight Watch" has a more linear approach as it only follows one story (as opposed to the various Point of Views that are being followed in the second book), it borrows from cop thrillers and infuses elements of Sergei's mythology.
Everything has been weaved into this book so masterfully that I could not possibly choose any other of the tetralogy as my favourite. All the books rank high in my personal favourites but out of the four, "the Twilight Watch" is my absolute fav.
