A review by paperrhino
Thuvia, Maid of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs

2.0

This fourth in the Barsoon series is the first not to follow the nietzschean super man like character of John Carter. In this case, the main heroes are Carthoris, John's son, and Thuvia, Carthoris's love interest. However, despite this the book follows the same patterns as the previous books. Once again a new race of Martians is discovered and once again there are characters with unexplained super powers which come to the rescue just as things are at their most grim. The story itself is entertaining but the books are starting to become a bit monotonous. There is only one more book in the series that is in the public domain and I think it will be the last Burroughs that I read for awhile.
