Customer Reviews

Very good end of a story, but there is room for more.

I have read the first two books of MYST and I thought I would go on ahead and read the last one. This one is the best book out of the three. This book describes the lies that split D’ni from her sister world. Most of the story takes place in a world of deceiving wonders that are beautiful at the surface, but if you look under the top layer, all you see is cruelty. The Terahnee nation is made up of three different people from three different ages. The Terahnee are, of course, from Terahnee and are wealthy people that don’t ever fight amongst themselves. The second group is the stewards, whose job is keep track of slaves and administer pain and punishment. The last group is the slaves. That structure of the society creates Terahnee that can’t see the slaves. By the time a person is five, they literally can’t see the slaves. A bacterium that is carried in the D’ni is passed to the Terahnee. What is harmless to the D’ni is deadly to the Terahnee. By the end of the sickness, all of the "masters" are dead and most of the stewards are dead, but almost none of the slaves have died. Atrus tries to help the slaves become a nation and rule themselves, but there is a man, Ymur, who wants to rule the country with himself as king. He even wants to keep some of his fellow former slaves as slaves. The makings of a civil war are present (....) This is a exceptional book and I wish Mr. Miller would write some more.

The Best Book

Myst The book of D'ni is very interesting book. It was intriguing and easy to read. This book is about how master Atrus and his wife, Catherine, survivors of fallen D'ni came back to rebuild a once beautiful city. Traveling form one age to another, Atrus and Catherine were looking for survivors, who were willing to go back and help rebuilt the D'ni. Every age differ from each other and not in every age Atrus were able to find survivors, but every survivor took the offer and moved back from the ages they once escaped for survivor. One of the ages that Atrus and his helpers visited was an age of Terahnee - the world of utopia were everything is perfect, the world they only could imagine, with spectacular waterfalls, lush fields, rich music, and astonishing architecture. But is the world as Atrus and others saw was real or what they though it was? Finding out the truth about Terahnee made change Atrus and his helpers mind. I enjoyed reading this book. It was intriguing and easy to read.

Myst: the book of Ti'ana

This book is very imaginative and I would recomend it in a second!

best

the myst books are the best books I have ever read! that is why I gave this book 5 stars.

Wonderful!

I have read all three books, and finished both games, and while this wasn't the best of the books, I thought it was WONDERFUL! I never expected what happened... what the big flaw of Tehranee was. I did wonder about how the boats moved, and how the maze worked, and what Hadre meant by "Do I see you?" when he first met Atrus and the others, but I never realized... I loved how little by little things like that were explained. I loved the beautiful descriptions of the places and things in Tehranee, and I also loved the characters. I thought this book was wonderful and well written. I don't, however, completly understand the ending. How were the D'ni and the Tehranee related? And did Eedrah stay in Tehranee, or come with the D'ni? But all in all, I loved this book, and I think that the MYST novels are some of the best books I have ever read!
