I think in writing the story or after it was finished the authors realized there was a greater tale to be told thus making it necessary to backtrack in the storyline. The first book 'The Book of Atrus' was written after the computer game became a smash hit. The second point, which was brought up by another reviewer, was the sequence of the books. I have some small experience with the game, but as I'm not inclined to sit at my computer playing games I never solved the puzzle. First one doesn't need to have any knowledge of the computer adventure game, which spawned the books. They're however a couple of points I do feel worth noting. Other reviewers have written in ways far more elegant than I could ever hope for. I was thrilled to find them bundled together for the Kindle and enjoyed reading the saga again. I read the three books when they were first released in hardback form way back. I rarely read a story more than one time but this compellation is an exception. If it were possible I'd give this trilogy 10 stars, it's that good. My recommendation is to buy the e-book for access to the stories, but it will not be quite as enjoyable as was holding and reading the original hardback publications. In print they contained a graphic design, in the ebook they contain a portion of text that almost assuredly is part of the word 'PostScript'. Another anomaly in the Book of D'ni is that little medallions that serve as content separators were not reproduced properly in the e-book. The drawings from the second and third published books, The Book of Ti'ana and The Book of D'ni, look almost as good in e-format as they did in print they are fully shaded drawings that can be viewed without zooming, but they also retain most of their sharpness if zoomed in. The cover for the e-book is, I think, a copy of the cover that was used for a paperback edition. I have looked at them on a 10-inch Fire HD, and I think only there is the quality approximate to the original. On the Kindle displays and any display less than 10 inches, they are small enough to beg for zooming in, but they lose sharpness when zoomed. They do not look as good in e-format on Kindle displays and an 8-inch Android display. The drawings from the first published book, The Book of Atrus, were almost line drawings, containing thin lines and text labels. In the original printing, one can either squint or use magnification to look at them more carefully, if desired. Produced in half-tone, the drawings' lines and writings are gray in all publications. The books contained pictures of alleged pencil drawings. The paper on which they were printed was not high quality, but its coarse texture and lack of brightness actally enhanced the feeling of age. There was some shallow embossing on the covers of the harback editions of the first two titles that gave the books a suggestion of ancient, special books. I have seen the first two titles in their hardback format, and I have the third in trade cpaperback. I think all the texts and drawings from the original publications are included. For the anyone who really wants to revel in Myst-ique (my own word, thank you), you will lose something. The Myst Reader, as the description states, offers three titles in one publication. Not unlike Robin Hobb's books.in that the feelings they leave you with make at the end of them make YOU into a better person for having read them.

I realize that this didn't tell those reading my review anything at all about the books, but the lessons learned from these books have very little to do with the stories set inside of them, and everything to do with how you read them. The finishing of all 3 series has left me with a lingering bitter sweet feeling, all at once inexpressible and renewing, and opened my soul back up to life in all its bitter sweet glory. I read series 3 quickly and steadily almost as a way to make up for the 11 years of time lost to me when I was growing older, but at the same time Not growing wiser. So I went back to series 2 and I finished it. I finally grew up enough as a person.enough to realize that bad things simply happen, whether or not we stop take the time to recognize, accept or learn from them.

I started the second series at age 26.but I was too young to fully grasp the subtleties of the story, and so I put the books away in the back of my kindle collection for 11 years. I finished the first series quickly, although what I learned from reading it would haunt me for years after. When I began this series I was but 24 years old.
