A tense adventure that explores the Norse myths. Some great descriptive imagery.

I didn't enjoy this one, despite it being Norse Myth based, and in the Whoniverse, which on the face of it should have made for a new favourite story. There was, sadly a distinct lack of Loki. Without Loki around to get into trouble, the Norse Myths wouldn't have even happened.

Since Frey is now canonically the Master, I did find myself wondering if Freyja is actually Missy.
