This tale was engaging, but I didn’t take away from it as much as I did the previous storyline. Still, it was a solid episode that furthered the character and plot development, and was interesting to watch.

Riding the coattails of the very strong pilot episode “The Dragon’s Call,” “Valiant” continued to pull its audience into the world of medieval times and magic. Although there was a scene present in this episode that caused me to cringe horribly, this was another tale that had me cheering.

My Rating: ★★★★☆
