Summary

Summer: while crossing a desert, Jack is attacked by a mirage which takes the shape of a living sand storm. Fall: an evil scientist collects fallen leaves and flowers to brew a deadly poison and put it in a well. Winter: a tribe of ogres forge the ultimate sword using fire and ice, then wage battle to determine the one destined to wield it. Spring: Jack is tempted to take a rest from his quest by a seductive wood nymph.

Our Take

Confident and engaging. The plot moves, the stakes feel real, and the hour flies by.
