"Alice In Deadland" title at first reminds "Alice In Wonderland" which was a fairy tale but this one is definitely not.
This trilogy written by Mainak Dhar follows a dark and extremely threatening storyline which is greepy enough to hold the author from cover to cover.
“Alice in Deadland”, “Through The Killing Glass”, and “Off With Their Heads”. Three phases of one story.
The first part "Alive In Deadland" starts with where counting on series of situation Alice end up in Deadland. Alice, A 15 years old female protagonist from India. While her country was on verge to destroy because of war with biters and rising, during this situation in quest of keeping her sister safe Alice's eyes caught up a rabbit entering into his hole. This idea gave her new hope to be safe. At that point she follow the rabbit and ended up in totally different world which was beyond her imagination, the place was Deadland!! The point where story begins.

Third and last part is "Off With Their Heads" here the protagonist Alice gets substitute with the character of Dr. Protima, the Queen of Zombies. Situation unfolds deep pages of Alice's past. But where did this character appear? And how did she become queen of zombies?
Now That's the reason you've to pick up the book to know.
My Takeaways -
I don't think after writing the summary in my words there's something left to gave Idea about how much I liked reading the book.
So starting with title of each book, titles are well justified with detailed charecter frames and charecter growth.
Story is fast paced and engaging, slow at some spaces and well - detailed where needed.
Author has emphasized on detailing either it be theme or situation and specially switching between one to another twist. It makes the book imaginary and realistic at some places.
Writing style is smooth. There were some minor grammatical errors I found but I think that's not much distracting.
Written with ease but a definite nail biting fantasy read.
