( ) Just not as good as Night Watch, which I admittedly read about a decade ago. This volume made me wonder if something was getting lost in the translation or if these stories were very trope-reliant in any language. Don't get me wrong, still going to read the next one, probably in less than another decade. I loved [Night Watch] when I read it nearly 10 years ago, so I expected to like this book too. Unfortunately, the main viewpoint character is an incredibly unpleasant person, and every page of the narrative is steeped in contempt. Contempt for every person she meets, contempt for every situation... even the brief opener that she doesn't appear in is completely contemptuous of the characters in it. I don't know if this is a massive departure from the previous book or if my tastes have just drastically changed, but I don't like this at all. I got to page 107 before I bailed. I liked this one a little more than the first in the series - we get to see a bit more of the world and how it works, and it's a very interesting place. Plus this one has several very interesting POV characters, which is a good change from the all-Anton first book (although he is a major character in two thirds of this one, which is fine). Glad to finally be reading this series.

HTML: The second book in the internationally bestselling fantasy series, Day Watch begins where Night Watch left off, set in a modern-day Moscow where the 1,000-year-old treaty between Light and Dark maintains its uneasy balance through careful vigilance from the Others. The forces of darkness keep an eye during the day, the Day Watch, while the agents of Light monitor the nighttime. Very senior Others called the Inquisitors are the impartial judges insisting on the essential compact. When a very potent artifact is stolen from them, the consequences are dire and drastic for all sides. Day Watch introduces the perspective of the Dark Ones, as it is told in part by a young witch who bolsters her evil power by leeching fear from children??s nightmares as a counselor at a girls?? summer camp. When she falls in love with a handsome young Light One, the balance is threatened and a death must be avenged. Day Watch is replete with the thrilling action and intricate plotting of the first tale, fuelled by cunning, cruelty, violence, and magic. It is a fast paced, darkly humorous, haunting world that will take root in the shadows of your mind and live there forever Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
