Day Watch

Watch, Book 2

De: Sergei Lukyanenko

Narrado por: Paul Michael

The second installment of the phenomenal Russian quartet The Night Watch vampire novels set in a richly realized post-Soviet Moscow. The second book in the internationally bestselling fantasy series, The Day Watch begins where The Night Watch left off, set in a modern-day Moscow where the 1,000-year-old treaty between Light and Dark maintains its uneasy balance through careful vigilance from the Others.

The forces of darkness keep an eye during the day, the Day Watch, while the agents of Light monitor the nighttime. Very senior Others called the Inquisitors are the impartial judges insisting on the essential compact. When a very potent artifact is stolen from them, the consequences are dire and drastic for all sides. The Day Watch introduces the perspective of the Dark Ones, told in part by a young witch who bolsters her evil power by leeching fear from children's nightmares as a counselor at a girls summer camp. When she falls in love with a handsome young Light One, the balance is threatened and a death must be avenged. The Day Watch is replete with the thrilling action and intricate plotting of the first tale, fuelled by cunning, cruelty, violence, and magic. It is a fast paced, darkly humorous, haunting world that will take root in the shadows of your mind and live there forever.

a little less good then the first book

while this book was a good continuation to the story of the others, it was not as good as the first book. maybe it was because I wasn't really paying attention, but I struggled to follow who was who and who was doing what during the story. overall, it wasn't a bad book. I do like the story of Anton and I'm looking to continue the story in the third book.

Great story and the voice acting is amazing!

This is a masterpiece that involves magical and strategic wars between good and evil. The narrator did an amazing job, using his voice to reconstruct the world created by the author.

In Russia book reads you!

Sorry, I had to. I'm in love with this series thus far. I love the gothic like feel I get when I hear Moscow described in this undercover war between good and evil

How many levels are there

One of the things that I like about this series is that it deals more with the small moves that are made and not about huge magical battles. This one does have magical battles but it is not driving the plot. Overall it is packed with "others" trying to out think each other. Each story is compelling.

So much better than the movies...

I didn't realize the number of subplots this story had....and how deep thing went. So much better than the movie...it kept me hanging on the edge of my chair.
