If you are looking for a smart and entertaining urban fantasy series with a unique twist, you should definitely check out Last Watch and the rest of the Night Watch series by Sergei Lukyanenko.
If you are new to the Night Watch series, you might want to start with the first book, Night Watch, which introduces the main characters and the concept of the Others. The Others are supernatural beings who live among humans and belong to either the Light or the Dark side. They are governed by a treaty that maintains a balance between the two forces and prevents an open war. The Night Watch is an organization of Light Others who monitor and control the Dark Others, while the Day Watch is an organization of Dark Others who do the same for the Light Others. The Inquisition is a neutral group that arbitrates disputes and enforces the rules.
In Night Watch, Anton is a low-level magician who works as an analyst for the Night Watch. He gets involved in a series of events that reveal a conspiracy that threatens to break the balance and unleash a powerful evil. He also meets Svetlana, a young woman who has a huge potential for magic, and Egor, a boy who can choose to become either a Light or a Dark Other. In Day Watch, the perspective shifts to the Dark side, as we follow the stories of Alisa, a young witch who falls in love with a Light Other, Edgar, a mysterious operative who has his own agenda, and Zabulon, the leader of the Day Watch who has a personal vendetta against Gesar, the leader of the Night Watch. In Twilight Watch, Anton is back as the protagonist, as he faces a new threat from an ancient group of Others who want to escape the Twilight, a parallel dimension where all Others draw their power from.
The Night Watch series is not only a riveting fantasy saga, but also a clever commentary on the nature of good and evil, choice and consequence, power and corruption. Lukyanenko creates a fascinating world that is both familiar and strange, where magic and technology coexist, where vampires and werewolves roam the streets, where spells and curses can alter reality. He also creates memorable characters that are complex and flawed, who have their own reasons and emotions, who sometimes change sides and surprise us. He writes with a style that is crisp and witty, with a touch of irony and sarcasm. He also uses a format that is unusual and effective: each book is divided into three parts that are called "stories", each with its own plot and climax, but also connected to each other by a common theme and an overarching storyline.
