Difference between myst and real myst series#
Needless to say after finishing "The Book of Atrus" I had fairly high expectations for this series going forward. Even when I knew it was coming, I was still not prepared! I loved him the first time I read it, and I liked him this time around. (Spoiler alert - literally everyone dies, except for Anna and Ghen.)Īnyway, the one bright spot in this dark, depressing book was Aitrus. The master plan - poisoning D’Ni and bringing the dead (but still infected) bodies to the other Ages to contaminate them - was definitely chilling, but way too depressing for my liking. Though their friendship came out of pretty much nowhere, so I guess it’s fitting that them becoming enemies came out of nowhere too. They just automatically suspect each other, and that’s the end of their friendship. Neither one of them (or anyone else for that matter) suspects the angry, awful guy who happens to be forger and got thrown out of D’Ni, and who now has an axe to grind. Veovis just starts to rage, and Aitrus seems all too quick to believe his best friend guilty. They don’t confront each other, or talk at all. You find out he’s a master forger who can copy anyone’s signature - and both Aitrus and Veovis see suspicious documents written in the other’s handwriting and each just automatically assumes the other is guilty. He was against Anna, but then brings her a cuddly animal for a pet and seemed to be befriending her, but it turned out he hated her? I don’t know - it wasn’t clear to me. WHERE DID THE CONFLICT COME FROM? Or the friendship, for that matter? While he is a student, Veovis sends Aitrus some special excavating equipment because.why? He knew Aitrus vaguely from school or something and didn’t like him, so why did he buy him expensive gifts? Suddenly, they’re bffs, but Veovis turns into a jerk and that’s the end of that. Second - the friendship turned to enemies between Veovis and Aitrus. When Anna showed up, it got better, but the beginning did not hold my attention at all.
A really boring, never ending town hall meeting. It was so clinical - like reading a geological textbook, interwoven with minutes from a town hall meeting.
Literally, the people of D’Ni spend pages and pages tunneling almost to the surface, and before they reach it, they have all kinds of meetings about whether or not to reach out to the people living above ground (ie, humans). What a depressing book!!! I’ve read it before, so I remembered how it ended, but I was still not ready for just how gloomy it was.įirst off - the beginning was dry as the Sahara.
