A review by jvan
A Fighting Man of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs

3.0

This is a weird one. There's a whole torture focused spider city that shows up and gets forgotten and set aside. There's a right hand man who is left behind as a hostage and barely recalled at the end. There's a badass lady for the first time who is kind of mostly allowed to remain a badass lady for the length of the book, instead of only occasionally showing signs of badassery. There's really massive world changing science discoveries that exist only for the length of the book and then are kind of gone. It was very odd. I liked it, though.
