The Book of D’ni by Rand Miller and David Wingrove is the third and final book in the Myst trilogy. It all boils down to this: having absolutely loved The Book of Ti’ana, I was curious to see how this last story would stack up. Obviously, it wasn’t hard to guess by the title that…

The Book of Ti’Ana by Rand Miller and David Wingrove is the second book in the Myst trilogy. It has always surprised me that while I had absolutely loved The Book of Atrus, I didn’t find myself continuing with the series all those many years ago. Now that I have, I can finally say that…
