Book Reviews of The Night Watch (Watch, Book 1)

Book Review: A very unique tale of urban fantasy.
Summary: 4 Stars

I was very surprised by this urban fantasy. It takes place in modern contemporary Russia and revolves around the members of the Night Watch and Day Watch. This book really makes you think about the consequences of our actions and how there really isn't just a black and white.

The majority of the book is also written from the first person perspective of Anton who is the main protagonist. I wouldn't compare it to Harry Potter in any way but it does share one think; magical beings "others" living among ordinary humans. Much of this concept is talked about throughout the novel so that is something that interests you then give it a read.

Summary of The Night Watch (Watch, Book 1)

The Night Watch series has caused a sensation never before seen in Russia -- its popularity is frenzied and unprecedented, and driven by a truly great, epic story. In 2005 Fox Searchlight announced it had acquired the Russian film adaptation for an American release. Interest in the books here is now set to reach a fever pitch.

Set in modern day Moscow, Night Watch is a world 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 maintained the balance of power, and the two sides coexist in an uneasy truce. But an ancient prophecy decrees that one supreme "Other" will rise up and tip the balance, plunging the world into a catastrophic war between the Dark and the Light. When a young boy with extraordinary powers emerges, fulfilling the first half of the prophecy, will the forces of the Light be able to keep the Dark from corrupting the boy and destroying the world?

An extraordinary translation from the Russian by noted translator Andrew Bromfield, this first English language edition of Night Watch is a chilling, engrossing read certain to reward those waiting in anticipation of its arrival.
