Summary: Great Beach Book
Review: I read this book on vacation and if I had been anywhere but stranded on a Mexican beach, with nothing to do but swim, sun and read, I would have put this book down after 30 pages. It is melodramatic, transparent, predictable and gratuitous in its shallow development of a synpathetic female lead. The tale of how D'Ni is ruined is interesting to any MYST/Riven fan, but over the course of the 500 pages, you realize that what is a great computer game has not been made into a great series of books. Ultimately, this is not enough about MYST/Riven to make it of any value.

Summary: Captivating and incredibly well written
Review: I really loved Myst, the Book of Ti'ana. It was well written and answered a lot of questios that were left unanswered on Myst, The Book of Atrus, although it posed some others of its own. I also thought that it was captivating, for it is really hard for me to find a book that will keep me awake 'till 2:00 am, on New Year's Day. Myst, the Book of Ti'ana managed to do so. The characters are reallistic, and well thought, plus their reactions are what you might have expected from them, had you known them. Aitrus and Anna/Ti'ana react in the same ways as many of us would do, if we were to find ourselves in the same situation. The whole story of the D'Ni has a past, a present and a future, which is something lots of books today lack. It is also rich and original, and it is laid out before the reader in such a way that many are captivated by it. This book is better than Myst, the Book of Atrus, mainly because it does not give you a reason to fall aseep as soon as you start reading it, like the first one did. The story of Anna, Aitrus and Veovis is a rich one, with many plot turns and t also explains what led to the destrucion of D'Ni. Myst, the Book of Ti'ana is all in all, a great addition to the whole Myst universe.

Summary: Excellent read.
Review: This book is a great read, but not as good as it's predecessor. While captivating, it lacks detail.While it clears up some fog, more unanswered questions rise. All in all, I recomend this book, but The Book of Atrus would make a better gift if you don't have it yet.

Summary: Almost a Mastepiece
Review: This is a wonderful book, along with its accompaning novel, Myst: The Book of Atrus. I can not say whether the plot line was predictable because an overall description of the events was described in The Book of Atrus. This novel is a keenly gripping tale, with vivid descriptions. If the author had developed the themes a little bit more, the book would be nothing short of a masterpiece of its own genre.

Summary: The Best No, but close
Review: Wow, could not put the book down. As a prequil to the game, that I have been playing since 1993 it was great. Only wish that there was more of the history. D'Ni could use more powerful and wondrous words to describe, but I'm nitpicking. Will I buy the next book. Yes! The new game of course. The authors still have much to discribe in future books. I can't wait.

Summary: Captivating
Review: This second book to do with the Myst genre was an incredible experience to read. I read it on a vacation in France, and some times I would rather read it than sight see. The description and detail captivates the reader and transports him/her magically into this somewhat tragic story. The story is one of incredible structure and planning, and I wish to congratulate the Millers for first creating a game that revolutionized the way we look at games today, and second for taking it a step further and creating a believable fantasy that I only wish could be true. -- Andrew, 17 yrs.

Summary: Cool. Buy this book.
Review: A well-done follow-on to Myst:The Book of Atrus. I enjoy the character interaction and how Miller creates very believable scenarios. I like the psychology behind the whole D'Ni society. The machinery of the D'Ni that Miller describes evoke memories of those Jules Verne movies from the sixties. Definitely different, but in a very good way. To be brief, it's great to continue reading about the world of Myst, and I recommend that you take the time to read this book and play the game.

Summary: T'riumphant!
Review: I loved this book. It's an incredible mind trip into the subterranean universe of D'ni. If you enjoyed the game of Myst and the Book of Atrus, this pre-prequel will answer lots of questions that you may still have. The captivating descriptions and imaginative storyline kept me glued to my chair until I had read every last page of this bittersweet book. The events in the Book of Ti'ana differ significantly from the story of the demise of D'ni as told to Atrus by Gehn in the Book of Atrus. Is this due to the failure of the author(s) to revisit what they wrote in The Book of Atrus? Is it due to the bias/misunderstanding of Gehn? Or is it simply "artistic license?" Who knows? Its an outstanding piece of work nonetheless.
