    When you consider the first movie adapts the first 1/3rd of the first book, and the 2nd movie kind of fucks up adapting the 2nd 1/3rd… there’s a TON more material. 6 books total and it all comes to a very satisfying conclusion.

    HBO could get 6 seasons of television out of this if they wanted to and unlike Game of Thrones, it’s all done!

      I want to read the second trilogy so bad, but it’s proving so difficult to get.

      The movies were how I imagine a bad drug trip.

        Last I checked, they had moved to a new publisher and had all new editions, but the author also kind of went off the rails on the whole Russia/Ukraine issue. He’s very much a Russian nationalist, but has Ukrainian heritage so it’s this huge complicated mess. :(

        Remember when we could just enjoy books without worrying how problematic the author is? Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh…

        Looks like they’re all on Amazon. Book 4 looks to be the hard one to get. I had to go through the audio book page to find the print edition. It’s also called “Last Watch” even though there are 2 more books after it.

        Night Watch - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DB3FSNW

        Day Watch - https://www.amazon.com/Day-Watch-Book-Two-Night-ebook/dp/B00DB3FSQY

        Twilight Watch - https://www.amazon.com/Twilight-Watch-Book-Three-Night-ebook/dp/B00DB3FT2C

        Last Watch - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004HKGKOO

        New Watch - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FJ3ABGG

        Sixth Watch - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0151VIAG8

        If you don’t want to throw money at Bezos, there’s also Powells and Abe Books.

        If you don’t want to throw money at a Russian nationalist… well… there are alternatives. 🏴‍☠️
