Description Concering Books The Last Watch (Дозоры #4)
The fourth novel in the blockbuster series from one of Russia's most popular authors, Last Watch returns us to the hyper-imaginative world of Sergei Lukyanenko, where the endless battle between good and evil is about to reach its climax. Anton Gorodetsky is just getting a feel for his new powers when his boss, Gesar, sends him to assist the Scottish Night Watch in Edinburgh in a murder investigation. A young Russian man has been murdered—apparently by a vampire. But the mystery is more than it seems, and soon Anton is himself in danger. The murderer appears to be someone with intimate knowledge of the Night Watch. Before long, Anton realizes that a plot is being hatched by the forces of both darkness and light that—unless he can intervene—may mean nothing less than Armageddon.

The russians definitely do not think the same way we do - it's interesting to see how much culture can influence basic beliefs, and how much basic beliefs will resist cultural influences.The 4th of 4 books in a series exploring a war between - not good and evil. The dark and the light, or the yin and the yang. In the beginning of the series, it was clear one side was good and the other was evil. In the middle, it became a question of priorities - one side thought society was more important thanTHAT WAS THE ULTIMATE PLOT TWIST OF ALL PLOT TWISTS I CAN'T COPE
I still enjoy Lukyanenko's watch series quite a bit.The writing style, the view on things and the description of people's life style differ from similar fantasy books from Western countries. I appreciate that a lot and find besides my joy in reading fantasy also a lot of emjoyment in reading about very different life styles/cultures.In this book Anton is sent to Edinburgh to investigate in the case of the murder of a Russian citizen, becaus the murderer apparently was a vampire. Starting from
I had read this book before, back when it first came out in paperback, and last time I rushed through it in the space of a day. This time took a while longer, maybe due to lack of time, or perhaps I just wasn't as into it this time around. It's still one of my favourites though. With another excellent translation by Andrew Bromfield, this carries on beyond the original trilogy (although I did wonder why Gesar became Geser in this oneit kept making me think of him as "geezer"....)Once again this
So good! Although last night I only had like 15 pages left of the book and so naturally, even though I was literally dozing off every 30 seconds or so while reading it (because I was TIRED, not because it was boring!!!), I attempted to push through, only to get to the end and have absolutely no idea what had happened, since I apparently slept through most of those 15 pages. Anyway, this morning I gave the last bit another go and then it all totally made sense and was awesome. Also, I thought

I love the Night Watch series by Lukyanenko. He has such a wonderfully Russian (by way of Kazakhstan) view point, where good and evil really do not look very different but are all shades of grey. All 4 books in this series grabbed me from page 1 and did not let go. The Last Watch was no exception. At first I was annoyed at some of the Anglo/Celtic themes in this 4th installment, but they were handled very well and did not become cheesy. I highly recommend this whole series. Read them in order
