David McK (3623 KP) rated Thuvia, Maid of Mars (Barsoom, #4) in Books

Thuvia, Maid of Mars (Barsoom, #4)

The fourth of Edgar Rice Burrough's <i>Barsoom</i> series that began with <i>A Princess of Mars</i>, this is actually the first book in the series that does not centre on the main protaganist of the first three novels (John Carter), as well as being the first story to be told in the third rather than first person.

As a consequence, I actually found this particular one to be a bit of a let-down from the previous, even if it does follow the same plot arc of those earlier stories (right down to yet another mysterious undiscovered race!).

Absolutely love this book!
Ive loved this series since i was a teenager..I recently started rereading them as many of the others in the series hadnt been released back then.I loved it as much as i did back then.The author take you into a mystical world of magic and paranormal that leaves you yearning for more.An epic mix of worlds that is like Harry potter and twilight have been smashed together well minus the sparkling in the sun of course lol..

Second of a series set (so far) in the late 1950s in coastal Devon. Main protagonist is a female reporter for a local newspaper but has a past life in wartime naval intelligence.

I read the first book in the series a couple of weeks back and this one I received via Goodreads.

I enjoyed both stories, but I didn't think they were really great either in the way they were written or in the construction of the mystery plot. They were enjoyable enough books, but not quite so good that I want to hang on to them to read again.

I really enjoyed this.

This series is very complex in some respects but oh, so good when it's on a roll.

I'm still half in love with both Lincoln and Phoenix <spoiler>though now Phoenix has gone all serious bad guy and wanting to revive Lilith</spoiler> - I shouldn't like Phoenix as much, though he doesn't always seem like he's enjoying the stuff he's doing.

The soul mates thing sounds amazing, though it also sounds heart-breaking/soul destroying :/ I hope they make the right choice for each other

Can't wait to read the next book in the series (just not quite yet :))
