Commentary To Books The Book of Ti'ana (Myst #2)
I really enjoyed the first Myst book and was excited to start this one. My high expectations diminished quickly as I struggled through the first 200 pages of the book where it felt like absolutely nothing happend. However, one thing I learned is that the author is clearly either a geology professor or someone who has a passion for geology; as made evident by the numerous digging/excavating scenes loaded with geological terminology = boring.I never played the PC game, so there was zero nostalgia to draw upon and give me a chance to recover from the first third of the story with the hopes to salvage an enjoyable experience with this book. My recommendation is to skip the first 200 pages and begin when Anna is captured by the D'ni.

What a dry beginning. Wow. I recommend starting at Part Two instead of sludging through that awful beginning. Once it gets started, the story is pretty good. The writing quality is just okay, but the world he created is interesting enough to make up for that.Anna lives with her father, conducting geological surveys in the desert. When his death leaves her alone, Anna sets off for the nearest town, but decides to make one last exploration of tunnels in the extinct volcano, discovered by her father just days before his death.Deep beneath the surface of the caldera, the civilization of Dni has thrived for thousands upon thousands of years. At the moment, its citizens once again engage in a long-standing debate: whether or not to venture to the surface
...Wow. I picked up this book at a yard sale for a dime because a friend of mine loves the games. I expected to enjoy it, but... I really love it. The worldbuilding is so good. I know pretty much nothing about the Myst games, but D'ni is fascinating. I almost would like to go there, if I weren't terrified of being far underground. The concept of the Books is so interesting to me, I know that plays into the games a lot so I'm kind of wanting to play them now. The best part for me, personally, was
It's the most beautiful, most tragic story about the end of a great empire, and most of all a great culture: The D'ni.The way the characters work and develop, the way they interact, it is very convincing and touching. It's fascinating, because I find it very hard to imagine there is one man behind this who is capable to see so clearly through all those different eyes, these different characteristics and perspectives, which form the great dynamic of this book - but it never turns chaotic. The
Love, Trouble, and shaken foundations are highlighted in this wonderful book.The web of fantasy and science run deep in the vivid back ground story of the world and civilization of Myst.I chose this book because I've been playing the game since before I could comprehend what the games were about. This book stays true to the intrigue and mind bending puzzles that the games held in high regard. The book of Ti'ana, being a prelude to the following of Artus, paints the background of not only the
Cover Blurb: Yes or No? Yes!!!! Yes, yes, and yes! Its gorgeous! Its mysterious! Its just absolutely wonderful! They simply dont do cover art like this anymore.Characters: Im saying this right off: If The Book of Tiana ever gets turned into a movie, Tom Hiddleston has to play Veovis. A lords son who commands the respect of the elder councilors, who always gets what he wants, and who is a good friend when he has an invested interest in being your friend. But also more than a little eaten up with
