Product Description
Night Watch and Day Watch, the first two books in this remarkable series, established Sergei Lukyanenko as a breathtakingly bold talent. Part fantasy, part vampire story, and part detective potboiler, this is the most successful science fiction series of all time in Russia and a true international sensation. In America, Fox Searchlight released the film adaptation of Night Watch to rapturous reviews, and adaptations of the next two books are in production. The world of Lukyanenko is as elaborate and imaginative as Tolkien or the best Asimov: Living among us are the “Others,” an ancient race of humans with supernatural powers who swear allegiance to either the Dark or the Light. A thousand-year treaty has mai… More >>

This novel was better than the first two, I think, in that it is written like a novel instead of a collection of loosely related stories. We all like Anton and prefer the viewpoint to stay on him
What does bug me is with each new book he comes out, he has more and more and more American hate. I mean come on, how often do you need to trash Americans, you don’t see American novelists writing such crap like that about Russians.
Unfortunately the next couple of books have been written already in Russian, I can only wait and see what anti-American stuff he has in that. Oh well, the book is great, I encourage everyone to read it!

I really liked “Nightwatch”. But after I dragged myself through “Daywatch” I should have stopped. Instead, hopeless optimist that I am, I trudged through “Twilightwatch”. By the time this book ended, every character felt identical, Sergei did not even bother differentiating their speech patterns or their mannerisms, or anything. In fact, the characterization was so poor, I figured out that whenver a character showed personality, it was a clue as to what was about to happen. The third (also the final) story in this book was so bad, it played out like an over-the-top session of Dungeons and Dragons. On that note, the final confrontation actually felt like it was written by a “rules lawyer” type of D&D player.
Sad to say, I was really hoping that this book would at least be better than “Daywatch”, at it wasn’t. “Nightwatch” was great, but people looking for better-than-generic fiction should avoid “Twilightwatch” at all costs.

As the first reveiwer did an excellent job I will not rehash the story line
Another excellent Watch book. This one has some interesting concepts and the stories tie together more than in previous books. If you liked the first two then you will like this one

Sergei, has created yet another hyper-realistic, hyper-stylized frenetic horrorfest, a great follow up to the two classics, Nightwatch and Daywatch

My ranking of the Night Watch novels are Day Watch first, then Night Watch and then Twilight Watch as a distant third. This book was written a few years after the other two, likely to coincide with the release of the movie Night Watch in Russia. It definitely feels like a cash in and almost has a fan fiction quality to it. It’s not the worst thing I’ve ever read, but it is naggingly non-essential. Read it if you really enjoyed the first two and aren’t really interested in reading anything else.
