planetshannon 's review for:
Warlord of Mars
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
2.75 stars
I struggle with this series. There are things I love, mostly the descriptions of locations and creatures, and of course the sense of adventure and drive of John Carter is pretty compelling.
That said, it does seem like nothing can stop him (although that is the case with most adventure stories), but he's so overpowered with the whole human-on-mars thing. But with this one I got more concerned about potential problematic themes with regards to race. I am still sorting through it and how I feel about it to decide if I want to continue the series. The gender dynamics aren't great either, and I know it's an older work but it's still frustrating to read. I wll have a think on this series and we shall see if I continue it.
