I guess I was lucky that Amazon recommended the first book as a free download on Kindle. If I wasn’t so eager to get free books, I wouldn’t be able to read on more than one occasion this series. I absolutely love it. 

Here’s a little summary from goodreads. 

On her last day of high school, Cassandra Devlin walked out of exams and into a forest. Surrounded by the wrong sort of trees, and animals never featured in any nature documentary, Cass is only sure of one thing: alone, she will be lucky to survive. The sprawl of abandoned blockish buildings Cass discovers offers her only more puzzles. Where are the people? What is the intoxicating mist which drifts off the buildings in the moonlight? And why does she feel like she's being watched? Increasingly unnerved, Cass is overjoyed at the arrival of the formidable Setari. Whisked to a world as technologically advanced as the first was primitive, where nanotech computers are grown inside people's skulls, and few have any interest in venturing outside the enormous whitestone cities, Cass finds herself processed as a 'stray', a refugee displaced by the gates torn between worlds. Struggling with an unfamiliar language and culture, she must adapt to virtual classrooms, friends who can teleport, and the ingrained attitude that strays are backward and slow. Can Cass ever find her way home? And after the people of her new world discover her unexpected value, will they be willing to let her leave?

The book series/trilogy has a lot of very unique aspect to it. Uno: it was written in a diary-esque way, which isn’t very common in terms of books point-of-view. I wouldn’t say it is a first-person since even in that POV, the writer is able to describe basically the emotions and alot of movements done by the main character. Basically, you get the general idea of what the character has done and mostly what she is thinking. The thing about this series is that even though it does not describe the minute detail of everything, it still does wonders to my imagination, like I could totally expand my mind and play the scene in my head. Second: A book epilogue. EPILOGUE. like seriously, Perfect dessert. It’s every readers delight, to actually have a book-written epilogue about the series itself. Anyway, the book is YA fantasy/Adventure with a slight sci-fi. I would definitely recommend the series.
