Gods of Mars: A Barsoom Novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs
3.0
This book, a follow up to the Princess of Mars, picks up where the last book ended. We dwell more deeply into the world of Barsoom and the adventures of John Carter.
To be honest, as with the previous book, I had a difficult time reading the text from Burroughs, even though the story is engaging. I founded the style dated and aggrandising the main character. But, I then decide to change my optics and started reading as if it was a Greek tragedy and I found the story to be a lot more enjoyable when keeping this frame of mind. The older style then becomes a story about the legend of Carter.
I would recommend this book to any fan of the Sci-Fi and fantasy style, since it represents a milestone in those genre.
