I don't know why I never read this book in my crazy fantasy days, but this is exactly the kind of book I loved back then. Classic trio, teenagers-saving-the-world, case/mission-driven plot??!?!? Save to say that I still really enjoy this kind of book HAHAHAHA

I like that we start this book with an action scene and then continue with the backstory, making it much easier to get into the book. Especially since it's the first book of the series.
