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

3.0

It was fine. And a bit goofy. But the Victorian novel thing is not something that adds anything for me, though here it wasn't actually painful. And I'm so tired of the disguised as a boy thing, though again it wasn't horrible here. Suspending belief to allow sailing from Earth to Mars and Martians is difficult enough. So clever, simple, readable but definitely not amazing. Nice cover though. 3.5 of 5.

On a re-read I found it more pleasant than I remembered. And I was going to raise it's rating from 3 to 3.5. But it was already 3.5.
