Review of 'Twilight Watch' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Three related stories cover much about the means of Magic in the Watch story world. The character stories are strong; this book shows significant growth for Anton. Can't wait to read the fourth and last of this series, and I still haven't watched the movies made of the first book. Хорошо!
