    How the Other half lives
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 31, 2022*

The sequel to Lukanyenko's _Night Watch_ relates some of the events (and many of the characters) of that story from the perspective of the Day Watch, continuing the story and expanding on the cosmic struggle between the forces of the Light and the Dark.  For those who have not read the first book in the series, it is important that you begin at the beginning, as the two stories are connected (although the connection and relation is not immediately apparent.)  It is every bit as cleverly crafted and imaginatively written as the first, and equally as good.As with _Night Watch_, Lukanyenko begins _Day Watch_ with a story that seems a bit confusing and only anciallarily related to previous events.  The perspective, motives and relationship of the Dark Ones provides not only insight but genuine empathy with who they are and what they stand for - it is alluring and attractive (intentionally so, as this is how one eventually sides with the Dark), and is part of the brilliance of his storytelling.  Quickly, however, the connection and interrelation  between the sequel and the first book become apparent, the broader schemes and manipulations between Gesar (the leader of the Light) and Zebulon (the leader of the Dark) only becoming clear and apparent by the end of the book - the readers themselves every bit the pawn in the telling as the characters in the story.A highly recommended read by a marvelous writer.

    Sort of Russian
  

*by T***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 4, 2007*

Lukyanenko wrote a book called Night Watch. It was made into Russia's most succesfull film. Because of this success Night Watch was translated into English. Day Watch is the follow up.The world portrayed in both books is one in which magic exists. It is a world in which there are vampires, werewolves and magicians. In this world there is a ongoing struggle between " the light" and " the dark". At a point in the past this conflict could have potentially destroyed the world. As a result a treaty was drawn up to restrict the use of magic and to licence the activities of vampires, werewolves and the like. Two organisations have been set up to monitor the working of the treaty. The Night Watch which is staffed by Light Magicians and the Day Watch which is staffed by Dark Magicians.Night Watch was a book which was really a series of interlinked short stories. It was told from the perspective of " Anton" a White Magician. The novel Day Watch starts with a witch from the Day Watch visiting a resort to rest after a battle has destroyed her powers. It explains her perspective.If the book had been American it would have been a conflict between good and evil with evil defined as a desire to impose malicous damage. This book is different. The Night Watch are social democrats. They believe in using their power to intervene posatively with humanity to achieve good outcomes. Prevent natural disasters, stop airplane crashes and the like.The Day Watch are libertarians. They do not particularly desire to harm others but they are indiferent if their actions hurt others. They are committed to the idea of freedom and the freedom to do what they like. Their freedom can be something detremental to humanity as a whole.The book is obviously reflective of the problems faced by Russia since the collapse of communism in the 90s and the responses to the predicement of that country.It is quite a readable book and even things like science fiction and fantasy are interesting as they say a good deal about the country that produces them.

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 23, 2017*

My favorite part about this series is that while it's a self-proclaimed battle of good verses evil, it's all just people. Day Watch tells a very dark, but human story of the dark Others. It would have been easy for the writer to stereotype these characters devils in red suits, but instead he makes sure that there is something very real in each character.Every time I read this series, I can't help but feel like I learn more about turn of the century Russia and it's people. The story is immersed in such a gritty and foreign world, while at the same time it's somewhere that you can't help but feel an empathetic connection.This is the second translation of this work that I've read. This translation seems to make the story more a tiny bit less "Russian", but probably a lot more understandable for the average English reader.
