About this listen

Danny Tozer has a problem: She just inherited the powers of Dreadnought, the world's greatest superhero. Until Dreadnought fell out of the sky and died right in front of her, Danny was trying to keep people from finding out she's transgender. But before he expired, Dreadnought passed his mantle to her, and those secondhand superpowers transformed Danny's body into what she's always thought it should be. Now there's no hiding that she's a girl.

It should be the happiest time of her life, but Danny's first weeks finally living in a body that fits her are more difficult and complicated than she could have imagined. Between her father's dangerous obsession with "curing" her girlhood, her best friend suddenly acting like he's entitled to date her, and her fellow superheroes arguing over her place in their ranks, Danny feels like she's in over her head.

She doesn't have time to adjust. Dreadnought's murderer - a cyborg named Utopia - still haunts the streets of New Port City, threatening destruction. If Danny can't sort through the confusion of coming out, master her powers, and stop Utopia in time, humanity faces extinction.

I love superheroes and have also been looking for a Jk Rowling terf pallet cleanser. This was great a really interesting concept, great descriptions, and very emotional at points

Brilliant

I was genuinely surprised with the quality of the story. At its core, it's fairly simple and never really tries to be more. But instead of hiding behind clutter of lore or characters, it completely focuses on pulling of its simplicity perfectly and it does so with flying colours.

I was worried it would be condescending or patronizing about the gender identity of the main character but instead it showed the hardships and struggles also the positives and joy of being authentically yourself.

I'm very curious to see where the story will take us further and will start the sequel right away.

Really well written superhero story with a twist

April Daniels Dreadnought is simply the best and most realistic depiction of a transgender character I have ever seen Dreadnought tells not only a great compelling superheroes story but also shows the struggles that young trans people face and incorporated into a story in a tasteful way.

I would and have recommended this book many times.
