The Last Watch《Definitely worth the read》

The Last Watch will definitely appeal to the loyal followers of the series even though the pace of the book is not as well written as the last three books.

In line to the last three books Lukyanenko explores the question of black and white good and evil though not as evident as the last book. Even moreso he weaved the story of birth and death the cycle of life and the sacrifices/ misguided deeds of good and evil. The action is less gripping as The Night Watch and The Day Watch but more time was spent exploring the thoughts of Anton as he chases after yet another mystery. There were less about the conflicts between the Watches as they had to work together (though only mentioned marginally) to stop the Last Watch from reaching their goal for Merlin's last creation.

I remain still very much a fan even though this book was not as good as I had expected from the genius of Lukyanenko. Even so I find it difficult to say good bye to the series after the attachment to it for the past few years. As Anton says to Nadya at the end "You didn't think this was the last watch did you?" I do hope that he will continue this series though many have written that this is the finale to this brilliant series. Fingers crossed!
