Atherton Trilogy

It was just a need to buy a book. I asked someone from a certain bookstore and she recommended me this book.
The first book of this trilogy is the House of Power. This book sat in my bookshelf for quite sometime until I have to read a book written by an author with last name that starts with a C.
To my surprise, I enjoyed the book.
The story is about a makeshift place to live as the earth we know is dying, Atherton.
It was created by a mad genius who had gone missing and disconnected Atherton to the Dark Planet (as the earth is called being dead and all).
Little did the people of Atherton that Atherton is changing. The highest level known as the highland where the House of Power and rulers and elite lives in is falling to Tabletop, the place where people who serves the Highland lives.
The once 3 layers of Atherton, one on top of the other will be no more. And along with it the changes that the people of Atherton must face and overcome, in the middle of this, is Edgar, a boy who was able to climb to the highland and knows the change that will happen.
The ending of the book is a cliffhanger that I decided to buy book 2 and 3 as soon as I was able to.
In book 2, there is yet change to Atherton that no one knew, except for the missing creator of Atherton.
As of now, I am reading book 3 and so far I am still enjoying the series.
On a side note: I think Atherton is an anagram of 'Not Earth'.
Book 1 and 2: 4.5 figs/ 5 figs
