A review by meetmeinmalkovich
Thuvia, Maid of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs
2.0
This was certainly not an ‘exciting’ read, as it was pretty much the same plot as the previous three, only instead of John Carter, it features his son Carthoris. He is in on the trail of Thuvia, Princess of Ptarth, who was kidnapped by his rival.
The tale might be the same but where the adventure leads him and the tribe which he discovers is what is intriguing. The Lotharians, who believe they are the last men upon of all Barsoom, are secluded in their valley home. What is unique is not their out-of-touch reality, but that they use their mind to manifest warriors that vanish into thin air when their duty is done, leaving a mess of blood behind them.
