Russian books too
Jun. 15th, 2006 09:20 pmObviously, I read Russian books now too :) What books? My friend recommended Sergei Lukyanenko's "Night Watch" to me. And it is really good too.
It's set in Moscow in present time and tells the story of Anton, a member of the Night Watch. The Night Watch is formed by men and women who supervise the forces of Darkness (vampires, magicians etc.) for the forces of Light during the night. On the other hand, the forces of Darkness inspect the doings of the other side during the day via the Day Watch.
The idea is really original. The two forces don't fight each other, they simply watch what the other side is doing. They agreed on this solution after they almost destroyed the world fighting each other. I'm surprised that it's so good. I've never expected much from Russian books, to be honest. But this one changed my mind :)
Go and buy it when the English translation is out. It's worth it!
