In this story The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers that I found to be interesting in my opinion was the entire books theme and purpose with how time travel works and how old egyptian magicians face off against the british empire in Egypt. One thing that I observed was how Doyle a character that is trying to protect the present along with the british finds himself in a new body in the past in an attempt to stop magicians and Romany from altering time with the time gate. The main idea that I discovered was how time and space have to stay in equilibrium in order to protect the past along with saving present/future of Egypt and the british. I found it interesting how the british and the ancient egyptian pharaohs and magicians from the past try to take back Egypt in the future which is the present time for the briish. Another part of this story that is really interesting on my take is how they use time gates to time travel from time period to time period to try and save Egypt from Egypt’s past. My idea about this story was the overall execution of time travel and how time is supposed to run its course through time with no alterations in the past. What I took as my own personal experience was how in this story time travel is essential to save Egypt from itself from its own past self. Meaning, New Egypt with the british living there is trying to stop old Egypt from changing history along with the space-time continuum. Overall, I found this story to be quite a time travel adventure along with being great with the way time travel works within it.
With this story in particular I observed and took notice of how impactful and meaningful the story is to me and in my opinion it was exciting and interesting to decipher and analyze. The main topic I would want to focus on is KiKi’s training as a new witch and her relationship with other characters as a whole along with how society treats her. Her training in my opinion could have been better in this novel because she has to learn how to do everything on her own as a witch for the most part but she needs more mentorship in my opinion for at least the majority of her training process. The next thing that has my point of view would be her close relationship with some characters and how she is impacted by them. My personal point of view would have to be how is she affecting them since she’s different as a witch and someone who isn’t more normal and how they react to someone who is a witch in training. The next part that highly interests me is how society sees her in their world not hers....
