There is a lot of detail hidden from the reader and written as a riddle which is part frustrating, part motivating to continue reading.Īnton’s inner battle is clear as he’s faced with complex decisions between choosing The Light or The Dark, and the consequences that he faces from either decision.
The book is divided into three parts to show the intensity of transitions in the plot. He also ends up saving an unformed Other, Egor, from vampires and finds himself entangled in events that threaten the truce between the Light and the Dark. When he crosses paths with Svetlana, he discovers she is burdened with a powerful curse. Others are able to enter the Twilight, a gloomy parallel world existing next to ours, and each Other owes allegiance to either the Dark or the Light.Īnton’s allegiance lies with the Light, and as a Night Watch he patrols the streets and metro of the city, protecting the citizens from the magicians and the vampires of the Dark.
The Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko #bookreview #readingcommunity #paranormalbooks Tweet Plot:Īnton is a young Other, a possessor of supernatural powers. That being said, I can’t decide which I like more: the book or the movie version.ĭISCLAIMER: This review could contain possible spoilers based on my opinions.
The book and movie differs in many ways, which was a little disappointing but understanding when you’re working with limits and need to change a few things and still keep to the storyline. The books were originally written in Russian, and I’m not a fan of translated books as meanings and context is sometimes lost, but this book brought it all as it should be. While browsing around in my local second-hand bookstore, I came across a copy of The Night Watch and had to buy it, because judging by the amount of pages, there was definitely going to be a lot more detail that didn’t make it into the movie. I’ve watched the movies, The Night Watch and The Day Watch, in the original form as well as the dubbed ones, and I still can’t get enough of them. This is another one of my favourites from 2021!
