''The Book of D'ni'' probably has the least cohesiveness of the three published [[Category:Novels|Myst]] books; major contradictions show up regarding events depicted in the previous novels. Cyan was in the midst of meeting deadlines for Riven while ''The Book of D'ni'' was in progress and did not devote as much time into proofreading and editing it as much as they desired. ''David Wingrove'' weaves a compelling yarn, but it gets muddled toward the end and engages in a level of descriptive violence not characteristic of the Myst games nor previous books. | ''The Book of D'ni'' probably has the least cohesiveness of the three published [[Category:Novels|Myst]] books; major contradictions show up regarding events depicted in the previous novels.

Many readers feel the ending is unclear to the point that one is not sure where certain groups of people end up. However, this book reveals extensive amounts of [[D'ni]] lore and history: by reading ''The Book of D'ni'', the fan is introduced to the protocol used by the [[Guild of Maintainers]] in linking to unknown ages. Also, the reader begins to realize the opportunities for the vast reach of D'ni culture throughout the universe and time.<ref name="talesD">{{cite web|url=http://geocities.com/kishlisandra/BODIndex.htm|title=The Book of D'ni|website=Tales of D'ni|access-date=December 7, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830223927/http://geocities.com/kishlisandra/BODIndex.htm|archive-date=August 30, 2009}}</ref> | Many readers feel the ending is unclear to the point that one is not sure where certain groups of people end up.
