Puede que nuestros lectores más veteranos hayan conocido la saga de Myst en sus inicios en 1993 bajo su formato original: un juego de ordenador en primera persona desarrollado por los hermanos Miller, Rand y Robyn. Su éxito fue tan fulgurante que, junto con sus secuelas, se proclamó como uno de los juegos más vendidos de los tiempos hasta 2002, desbancado por Los Sims.

I have enjoyed the previous books in the series and was looking forward to learning more about the D'ni in this book. The book is intelligently written and the descriptions are wonderful giving the reader a clear view of the various worlds that are visited. The characters are good with interesting personalities and a good sense of morality. The book deals with many issues such as slavery and wariness of those who seek power in the name of over-throwing an evil regime, and More...

I couldn't even finish this book. I was really torn between giving up and forcing myself to, because on the one hand I feel like if I haven't read a book cover to cover I haven't given it a chance, but on the other hand there are many, many other books on my list to read. I'm still young, and I'm still working on reading widely enough, but the writing in this book was just too bad to continue. The wording in general was clumsy and redundant. It seemed like a first draft that someone had only edi

With the title "The Book of D'ni" and the last book, "The Book of Ti'ana", I half expected them to go even further back in D'ni's history. Maybe a story about the inception of D'ni! Which, that would be a great tale in itself. Despite this expectation, and not getting it, this still ended up being, probably, my favorite in the trilogy. "The Book of D'ni" picks up where "The Book of Atrus" leaves off and brings us into a world of struggle, rebuilding, and a

When I was younger, I used to think that as a general rule, good books did not make good movies, and vice versa. Since then I've gotten a better feel for the uneasy relationship between these two forms, but even with the occasional book-movie pair that works well, there are still hundreds of hideous "adaptations" that simply seem to miss the point.
But the relationship of BOTH of these media to video games is still, at the present time, an awful, disgusting heap of misfires an More...

When I think about this books, I'm reminded of the Godfather part III. In both cases, the franchise made the third iteration bearable, but by no means enjoyable. On its own, I would have put this book down within 20 pages, but I read it out of devotion to the series. Don't waste your time.

I'm unsure whether to rate this 4 or 5 stars, but I really liked this book. It read well, had a good approach to world building and civilization building and I loved how the society was portrayed in the book....the way the main character interacted with and dealt with the new world he was thrust into. By the way, it doesn't really matter if you jump into this book without having the read the others, or so I think. It's pretty much stand-alone. Another surprising thing about this book is that it

really enjoyed 3/4 of this book but found it messy and moving off track in the last 1/4, which was a shame as I have loved this set of books. The entire story was so different and unique that I found myself just wanting more and more of it.

Somehow, the second book in this series wound up being my favorite, perhaps because I read it first. I did quite enjoy this story, however, because of its many twists and turns. I definitely recommend this series to any sci-fi or fantasy lover.

The Book of D'ni was actually my favourite of the trilogy.
Indeed, it was "creepy" to an extent. But I also love the horror genre so maybe that's why :D
I fucking loved all three books. 5/5.
Definitely made me want to play the games again... if only I can find the disks.

I REALLY enjoyed the prior 2 books in the series. For some reason, I don't know why the authors decided to take us on this path. The story, as someone mentioned previously, is 'creepy'. I suppose I missed the fulfilling 'good/evil' or 'villainous' feel of the prior two. Not an AWFUL read, but, don't read this as the only book of the series and judge it as the litmus for the rest of them.

Couldn't put it down - it gave me such an interesting look at slavery, in a way that I've never looked at it before. I'll let you read it to see what I mean.

Beautifully written for beautifully written Ages, a great tale for great characters. The culmination of Atrus' eternal question: What do you see?

Once again, an adored genre and well written piece in the last of the book series. Was absolutely caught up in the worlds and characters.

Fantastic trilogy these books. They took me into the heart and soul of D'ni. The Age and people alike were unique and exquisite. I've never read a book like this and there will never be anything equivilant to this one or any of them. I'm at a loss for words at how to describe these books, but they are amazing. Wonderfully written, colorful and dark all at the same time. It was amazing seeing Atrus as a man and see what he had learned through his relationships. Amazing! For this book, ther

Though an interesting read and worth reading to finish the series, it was harder to read than the others. The flow wasn't the same and some of the way it was written didn't make enough sense to me. So, I'm glad I read it, but I don't think I'll ever read it again.

Not really my kind of book. I only read it because I bought it about 10 years ago on a whim. (Yeah... I used to play the computer game). It has just been sitting on my bookshelf, and I felt like I had to read it. I haven't even read the first two books. This one wasn't too bad... At least it was entertaining and an easy read.

So I said when I was halfway through this book that it was a little creepy. After finishing it i feel the same way. I would have liked more information about the rebuilding about D'Ni- it seems this book just took off on a tangent and left me wanting not really more, but something else.

While the writing is of good quality, the actual plot and story are incredibly poor and paced horribly. A true disappointment after the last two books in the series. Read the first two, skip this one. You're not missing anything, really.

Kalin gave me this to read when we did not have any other books. It was OK...then we realized that it was the third of a series I had never heard of. Interesting though.

A frightening moral tale, well written, fun to read, slightly heartbreaking in how very possible it all seems.
