Explanation Toward Books Stray (Touchstone #1)

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?

Comment On Of Books Stray (Touchstone #1)

So, for about the first twenty pages, my thoughts were: "There is nothing happening. Why is there nothing happening? *sigh* I will continue reading, nevertheless. The description promised cool things."Then something happened, and I was excited and kept reading because I wanted to, not because I was forcing myself to. Except, after the something happened, nothing happened. And I was staying up at all hours reading it. My thoughts: "There's still nothing happening. And yet, I can't stop reading.

I cant even beging to describe my conflicted feelings about the trilogy.It started out as a survival story, continued as a complex science fiction, turned space opera. Cassandra, the main heroine, finds herself in a new planet that looks like earth but its not. Then the adventure takes her to new planets with different characteristics and people who have powers, think x-men powers. The author manages to create a very unique world building. Very solid but with so many details that you frequently

As of July 16th, 2016 it's free on Amazon. Goodreads recommended it to me based on my love for The Last Hour of Gann and now I'm intrigued.EDIT: Read the book. Really liked it. Actual rating 3.5 stars. The following review was originally posted on my book blog The Book Challengers.Goodreads recommended this book to me due to my love of The Last Hour of Gann and while I must admit that I really enjoyed this freebie (so much so that I already got my hands on part 2), I don't really see how these

Currently free for Kindle in the U.S. and Andrea says it's also free on B&N, Smashie, Amazon UK, etc., too. Grab before it's gone.3.5 stars Love love loved the beginning survivalist part! And the worldbuilding was incredible, though I think some of the humor I liked so much, as well as the characterization, got a bit lost in the last half.I really can't express my thoughts any better than my readalong pal Flannery did, so if you're curious about this book, please check out her review!

I usually find diary-style books somewhat underwhelming, but it worked fantastically in this sci-fi / fantasy / psychic space ninja story. Can I say that again? Psychic space ninja story. What I loved: first, there were so many commentaries layered into this story. On the surface, intriguing story of an Aussie high school girl who walks through a wormhole on her way home from her final exams, ends up on an abandoned world and struggles to survive, only to be rescued by psychic space ninjas (yay!

July 2018: I'd forgotten a lot about this first book. Wow. It's fantastic. I still stand by everything I said in my earlier review (from five years ago - yikes) about bad typos and awkward dialect, and yet Stray really worked for me this reread. Cass's voice is the primary force in this story - if you don't like her voice, I don't think you'll make it through the book - but on my second read this week, I was able to sort of look past that to what's taking place at the margins of the story. And

Still 5 stars on this reread.I decided to reread Gratuitous Epilogue in preparation for reading the recently released In Arcadia. Then I realized I didnt remember what was going on and who was who really, so I started rereading Caszandra, only to realise I was still a bit lost and it would be best to go back to the beginning. So thats the background for this reread. My reaction to this is much the same as it originally was, except that I think Im more forgiving of its flaws and even more in awe
