Thoughts:   This is the second in the Mythica series and sees the full introduction of the evil wizard Szorlok, a character that will oppose Marek throughout.

This feels very much like a bridge to he rest of the series, with too much time spent setting up the story arc.

As a result it does drag a little, and lacks the opener's pace. In addition there is a marked drop off in terms of the script and the overall feel. Some of the fight scenes are weak. This was crowd funded, and quite quickly, and I wonder if it all ended up being rushed. It feels like a necessary step in the story but could probably have been condensed to thirty minutes. What's on show is okay but there's just too much of it. I also think you could easily pick the story up later.
