History Literature / DjinnTamer

Djinn Tamer is a {{LitRPG}} novel by Creator/{{Derek Alan Siddoway}} and Creator/{{AJ Cerna}}. A slightly more adult variation of many of the {{mon}} genre that came before it. Currently only the Bronze League Trilogy is available but the authors have promised more to come.

* AbilityMixing: Not only can the various [[{{mon}} Djinn]] have multi typing but attacks can as well.

* ActionPet: It's the core of the series
* AdrenalineMakeover: Jackson, Appleby, and Fiona are all described as having a different air come over them in battle contrasting to their quiet, shy, normal selves
* AdultsAreUseless: Averted, Most of the adults in the series try to/and do their best by the main characters and not only are the older Tamers well respected and admired but they consistently give the right advice to help the younger more impulsive tamers succeed

* AffectionateNickname: Unlike Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, Naming one's Djinn is not only the norm but expect and possibly even necessary to really build the bond between them and their tamer

* AfterCombatRecovery: [[{{mon}} Djinn]] fighting is a core of the series, this is to be expected

'' Djinn Tamer: Starter ''

'' Djinn Tamer: Rivals ''

'' Djinn Tamer: Evolution ''

* ABirthdayNotaBreak: Jackson and his grandmother receive the news about his mother's death on his twelfth birthday

** [[spoiler:Jacksons last match in the underground is an all or nothing gamble to save his grandmother's house]]

* All Myths are True: Can be assumed with many of the Djinn described looking like the stuff of legends.

* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Fiona Sato, implied to be Asian, fits the bill

* AdultFear: Jane's entire reason for trying to keep Jackson away from [[{{mon}} Djinn]]. In her mind she has already lost her daughter to them she will be damned if she loses her Grandson too

* AllOrNothing: After the match the story opens with the commentator, various people online, and Jackson himself complain about one of the competitors pulling their horribly injured Djinn instead of going for what could be a knock out, possibly at the cost of the Djinn's life.

* AllOrNothing: [[spoiler:Jacksons last match in the underground is an all or nothing gamble to save his grandmother's house]]
* AllThereInTheManual: Unfortunately there isn't much information on a lot of the [[{{mon}} Djinn species]] mentioned and encountered the authors have included a handful of descriptions in the back of book three, they also have a limited encyclopedia with Franchise/{{Pokemon}} style art available [[http://djinntamer.com/newsletter/ here]]

* AmazonChaser: Jackson eventually realizes he has feeling for Fiona, She reciprocates......kind of

* AndIMustScream: Asena was stuck in her ring for almost six years before Jackson found her on a whim, the thought does not go unaddressed. Although most Djinn preserves are monitored well, there is also a very real possibility of Tamers dying when on expeditions to find rare Djinn in the more remote areas such as Lombardia meaning the Djinn they bring along could very well never be freed again.

* {{Adorkable}}: Appleby, by his nature as a nerdy bookworm. Fiona, when shes not being her normal competitive self shows shades of this. Jackson tends toward these moments when he can relax or Djinn battling is brought up

* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe: [[spoiler: It's obvious there is more to the old lady, Black, than what she seems to be but it takes till the end of their adventures on Lombardia for her to reveal herself as Erin Black, the gold league champion whose Lycanris, the fully evolved form of Lyote, Asena was named after.

* AndroclesLion: [[spoiler: The Ponizu\Aquestria herd that saves Jackson when he falls off Black's ferry comes back and saves Fiona and him later when they are surrounded by an Arkodon pack. He recognizes a particularly large scared stallion and returns the favor.......by taming him]]

* AlwaysABiggerFish: At least once a book the characters get reminded that they are still fairly inexperienced and there are much stronger teams out there. The one time Jackson and Fiona witness Vance and Briggs duel Jackson calls it an "all out battle" but Briggs admonishes him and informs him that Vance had been fighting at half-speed

* AccentInterest: [[spoiler:His accent is part of what tipped Jackson off that he was talking to legendary tamer Vance [=McAllister=]]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Jackson a immature child or a late teenager with his every dream coming true, Is Fiona a rich AlphaBitch or a sheltered kid trying to move out into her own life

* AlreadyTheCase: All over, from the holowatch warnings, Briggs giving his wisdom, or even Black telling various people off
