Because Anton has been through his crisis in the earlier books Gorodetsky was terribly uncertain about the morality of his actions and his superiors' actions and of the whole Treaty that binds the Light and the Dark to a truce for the benefit of normal humans who would be caught in the grotesquely destructive magical cross-fire if open warfare prevailed. So what is the fourth outing like? It's just as intriguing and gripping and fast paced and full of weird action and incident as the previous three but it isn't as good as the best of Anton's previous adventures. Then Gorodetsky is sent to Scotland on a mission that is too routine to require intervention from a Higher Magician from the Russian Nightwatch - so it can't be routine, really, can it? No - it's deadly and shrouded in mystery.here we go again! It's a new millenium, Anton Gorodetsky, principle protagonist of the trilogy, is using an mp3 player on his mobile phone instead of a mini-disc player, his stupendously magically talented daughter is no longer a baby and can get into even more trouble than the average toddler but apart from that, not a lot has changed the equilibrium is being upheld, Geser and Zabulon are scheming, humans are oblivious. The Last Watch picks up on Moscow's Nightwatch several years after the closing events of The Twilight Watch. This book is a late follow up to the "Watch" trilogy and if you haven't read those books you might want to skip this review, because I'm going to refer to it and hence there will be spoilers.
