sonshinelibrarian 's review for:

The Chessmen of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs

4.0

I'm glad we've moved beyond just John Carter's stories. Tara drove me crazy particularly at the beginning, but she definitely grew on me over the course of the book.

At the end when it's revealed that the mercenary who she fell in love with is actually the prince she completely dissed (to his face only like a day ago) and she just laughs and shrugs and they're both just happy cracked me up

I love Ghek - he's probably my second favorite character next to Thuvia. That whole part of it was bizarre, but it brought us Ghek, so I didn't mind the detour.
