"Borderland, Outland and Shadowland , could have been a conventional portal fantasy in which children go through into another world and rescue it. Instead, it's a critique of the portal fantasy.
...The books continue to hold sf and fantasy in tension, and while they address questions of growing up, they are always and ever in the sf context (there is some nice discussion about the way their "relative" ages shift according to which world they are in).
And dammit, it ends on a cliff hanger. I want the next book."

"Borderland by Rhiannon Lassiter, is both stylish and exciting."
