“A bit worse than the night watch but also very well written and interesting.”

“A great continuation to this series. This time around Night Watch agent Anton is not as prominent a character, as he shares the spotlight with a couple of Dark Others. It was really interesting seeing the events through the eyes of the Dark Others, and you even come to sympathize with a few of them. As usual the stories were fantastic, existential tales of the ongoing battle between the Dark and the Light. The only unfortunate thing again is the translation from Russian to English is a bit distracting at times, making it a longer read than another book of similar size. The quality of the story being told, however, is well worth the time and I highly recommend this book to lovers of Dark Fantasy stories.”

“Strong follow up to Nightwatch. Characters are matured. Continue to enjoy the way Lukyanenko weaves smaller stories into the much larger story of these two groups as they posture for power. ”

“Book two in the Day Watch series, this book out preformed the film 100 to 1. This is a deeper look into the supernatural world of the others, particularly Olga which is something missing from the film. Lots of questions were answered, though even more were asked.”

The exposure to the Inquisition and all the plots of the Dark Ones was brilliant.
Loved it”
“Still quite interesting. The intrigue is impressive. In most books you only hear about how excellent of a manipulator/planner someone is, here you get the point of view of those being manipulated directly.”

“Continuing the trend of the previous book. The story builds up, starting with a story straight from a teen "love" novel, to a realization of how this plays into what is happening between the light and the dark.

Patience pays off for this story. It is more involved than the other books, with less action and more supposition. And it works, as the lead off to the final story is a doozy!”
“What a great second novel by Lukyanenko. I found myself completely sucked into this world he has created once more. In similar fashion, the second book in the series is comprised of three separate stories that all tie together... and directly to the first. I am completely hooked to this story and can not wait to start the third novel, Twilight Watch. It was great to see the perspective of the Dark Others and see their take on the whole situation. Everything is not as it seems and the decisions are very complex. This was also a refreshing read. It is great to take a break and read some fresh material from another different voice. I am interested to see if anything else by Lukyanenko is translated into English, otherwise I may have to learn Russian just to read more of his work. I highly recommend these novels.”
