Wow, I haven't disliked a book this much in a really long time. There were too many characters and I just had no desire to keep track of them. The dialog was horrible and page after page was filled with what could have been said in less than one. I broke down and decided to skim read and then just started skipping whole pages. I would pick a page and read a few lines here and there to try and catch on what was happening and it was the same for about 50 pages! 
 "You have the platter??" "No.. I have the platter.. haha!" "Think again it was a fake!" "I know where the platter is!" "E's goin to get the platter!... No No E's not because I have snuck up on him and now I will get the platter instead!" 
 The mystery of the magic platter was just NOT that interesting to me and I was bored. I couldn't wait for it to be over. 
 YA fantasy is really hit or miss for me... and this one was a huge miss.
