focused on John Carter, and his love of Dejah Thoris, but they are barely mentioned in this book Instead, the focus switches to focus on John Carter s son, Cathoris, prince of Helium, and the title

as well as the rest of the John Carter series and compare it to modern fantasy which is a mistake People please remember that most of Burroughs works are from the early twentieth century this book was published in 1920 which was 93 years ago It was a different time Also these stories started out as serials in pulp magazines they were actioney...I can t put my finger on it, but this isn t my favorite Barsoom book Having said that, it s still a very strong entry in the series This is the first book written in third person, so you actually get multiple points of view It s also the first

beautiful princess, but many complications ensue to keep I can t put my finger on it, but this isn t my favorite Barsoom book Having said that, it s still a very strong entry in the series This is the
