This started out really strong. The present day story was personal and character driven and the "fairy tale" we also get was an interesting look into som middel eastern lore (I presumed). Unfortunately (for me) both narratives learn more and more toward being polt-driven and by the halfway point we more and less go from action scene to action scene. That just isn't for me.
