É uma leitura densa e curiosa e pode ser bem envolvente
Duidelijk simpel avonturenverhaal uit de jaren 60. Vrij ongeloofwaardige plotwendingen. Leest wel lekker weg als pulplectuur voor tussendoor.
This is a good read in the science-fantasy vein of ERB’s Barsoom series. There are themes of slavery, exploitation, sexual and otherwise, and caste consciousness that may offend 21st century sensibilities however I find them presented in a way by the main character that, even nearly a half-century ago questioned those practices and the attitudes that sustained them.
