A review by jane_kelsey
Day Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko
4.0
Loved it, yes, I did. At first I was taken aback by Alissa's presence in the book, I wasn't a great fan of her in the first one, but the thing is that in the end, I almost cried for her.
This book is different, more mature, it can be sensed in the writing, in the forming of the sentence, and, of course, the fact that it wasn't pure Lukynenko writing(something that I don't think that I'm happy with...).
In any case, after taking me a month to get over the first story of the book, I couldn't put it down. Action, new characters, but most importantly: new insight on the story, on the Other world, the "creatures" that the Twilight can spawn. I was impressed and I loved it ("Mirror, mirror"). And, as soon as Anton came into the picture, I was more than thrilled: I was ecstatic.
I love the way that everything makes sense and it's planned in advance and the ending of this book was really good. I enjoyed it, I repeat, after the first story, not that it wasn't written well... but I couldn't relate with Alissa, I felt sorry for her but that was that, pity, which is a terrible feeling.
