Dragon in Awe
Dragon Sagas Book 3
By Anthony Robinson
Main Themes:
- Time Travel and Historical Fiction: The story weaves together elements of time travel, allowing John and Sybil to visit historical periods and interact with figures like Empress Maria Theresa and potentially even encounter the Guardians of the legendary King Arthur.
- Magic and Folklore: Magic plays a central role, with John absorbing magical abilities and Sybil's witch heritage coming into play. Romani traditions and folklore, including the Chovihano and the power of standing stones, are integral to the narrative.
- Adventure and Problem Solving: John and Sybil face numerous challenges, from unexploded bombs and dangerous river rapids to navigating social situations and outsmarting adversaries. Their quick thinking and resourcefulness help them overcome obstacles.
- Romani Culture and Prejudice: The narrative explores Romani culture, showcasing their traditions, skills, and close-knit community. It also touches upon the prejudice they face, as seen in accusations of theft and suspicion from outsiders.
- Beelzebub's connection with John Lewis grows as the dragon begins to feel human emotions and learns more about John as a human.
- Friendship and Loyalty: John and Sybil's friendship is a driving force, as they rely on each other's strengths and support each other through difficult situations. John's loyalty to Janos Bilhari and his integration into the Romani clan highlight themes of acceptance and found family.
Most Important Ideas/Facts:
- John's Time Travel & Magic: John possesses the ability to time-travel. He can also absorb magic directed at him, as demonstrated in Ulm. He inadvertently stole power from a sacred site, which helped him avoid a deadly accident.
- Sybil's Witch Heritage & Illness: Sybil is a witch who suffers from potentially fatal headaches. A cure exists in a dangerous place called Platt, requiring the assistance of a Chovihano.
- Janos Bilhari and the Romani Clan: Janos is a famous Romani violinist whom John and Sybil must protect. They go undercover as entertainers within his clan, learning their customs and facing prejudice.
- Technology vs. Magic: The story hints at a conflict between technology (AIG, computers) and magic. John and Sybil use their knowledge of the future and technology to their advantage.
Key Quotes:
- John's Magic: John, absorbed magical powers must surely be an asset and this person absolutely exuded magic.
- Sybil's Headaches: There is a cure, but it's a very dangerous one. You will have to go with a Chovihano to a place where the earth is very angry and the magic is very strong.
- Janos's Fame: Your fame even reaches the gods Janos Bilhari.
- Empress Maria Theresa's Wisdom: My enemies restrict me to Vienna and Prague. Whatever I wear or do has some consequence in my empire, so I am always having to be careful. I envy you your freedom Janos Bilhari.
- The Prophecy: One of you has already stolen power from this holy site and used the power.
