Bypass Gemini turned out to be pretty fun, but rather than dive into its sequel right away, I'm trying Christopher Nuttall's Schooled in Magic, first of eleven in the series. The first chapter sets up a "portal fantasy" without a portal; the familiar/contemporary main character is flat-out abducted into the fantasy world, where her education will presumably commence soon.
As with Bypass Gemini, I'm using this to test the waters and see if I want to get more of the series. Later volumes run from $1-$4 each, and it looks like different ones are on sale at different times - so if I do like it and can be patient, I should be able to keep my eyes open and pick each book up inexpensively as sales pop up.
