    Loki: Burden of the Throne is a nice bit of fanfiction that really scratched my itch for good storytelling. Following the attempts of Loki to uncover the mysteries behind Thor's mysterious murder, he also struggles with being accepted as the new asgardian king.
    However, the downside of this story is that it extends too far. Cramming intrigue, character references, and time travel without taking time to properly flesh everything out, the story maintains a frantic pace to keep up with the constant plot twists.
    I do recommend it however, if you are a fan of political conspiracies, time travel paradoxes and Sherlock-Holmesesque plot lines.
