A review by gigiatthelibrary
Arabella of Mars by David D. Levine

3.0

I wanted to like this more. I'm not super into the steampunk genre, so I don't have much to compare to, but although the book was a pretty enjoyable adventure, there was a bit too much colonial-savior and male-savior stuff going on for me to really enjoy it. The Martians are rioting??? Why would they do that??? They have no reason to be upset that we colonized their planet!
