They were introduced to me, more than ten years ago now, as the best (or possibly only good) example of "kids go into other world, find out that their games are real" story.
For most of the trilogy, I was in a state of serious confusion, because they're from the POV of the kids and there's a lot going on that the kids aren't able to know yet. I got through because I cared about the characters and was fascinated by the problems, but they may not be suitable for everyone because of that.
