Book Review: Dreadnought by April Daniels ✨🏙️⚡️

rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

(5/5)

After Dreadnought, the world’s greatest superhero, is killed in combat, closeted trans girl Danny Tozer inherits his powers and is transformed to have the body she’s always wanted to have. Now she has to deal with having superpowers and being an out trans woman, all the while hunting down the supervillain who murdered her predecessor.

This book was phenomenal, and I’m kind of at a loss for words to describe how much I liked it.

To start, I love the world of this book. This is such a classic superhero story. Daniels uses the conventions of the genre without making things feel like a parody and subverts tropes just enough to make the story distinct.

I also really love Dreadnought as a trans narrative. This book doesn’t shy away from transphobia. Between Danny’s parents, kids at her school, and other heroes she meets, we get a pretty broad and realistic representation of the types of abuse a young trans woman might face. There’s also so much trans joy in this book. It was really nice to see Danny come into herself, and it was cathartic to watch her realize that no one could take her transition away from her. This is the type of story that will give trans kids hope for the future.

I would recommend this book to literally everyone. In fact, I plan on recommending this book to literally everyone. But because that’s not helpful, I’ll be more specific and say I highly recommend this book to fans of Andrew Joseph White. Obviously, it’s very different from his work, genre-wise, but I think the themes are really similar. If you like Hell Followed with Us and The Spirit Bares It’s Teeth, I can definitely see you liking Dreadnought.

Dreadnought by April Daniels

goodreads

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 much 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.

Mod Opinion: It‘s been a while since I read this book, but I remember liking it :)

Re-listening to the Nemesis audio books again for the heck-thousandth time and I really have to applaud Daniels's ability to write from the perspective of not just a flawed protagonist, but specifically a teenager.

Danielle Tozer notes in a scene towards the end of the second act that when she got along well with the other girls at her school as a child and gradually drifted away when she got older, but wondered if she drifted, or was pushed out because they saw her as a boy.

Towards the end of the first act Danni has a falling out with her childhood best friend because he was a shitheel acted like she belonged to him because she was cisgirl-shaped and they were friends. Later, her new best friend explained that her old bestie was practical ly the most notorious incel in school. Danielle never connects these dots. Partly because she's too busy figuring herself out to consider the world around her, partly because she's trapped under the pillar of stress from her abusive home life and pathological averse to confrontation until she's pushed just hard enough. Seriously, read Dreadnought and Sovereign they're both really good (but skip chapter 15 of Sovereign, it's pretty goshdang brutal)

This probably wasn't intentional in your writing, but now I can't get the idea of 'Danny Tozer the Transgender Dozer' out of my head. Because she kind of is! Just rolls right over the bad guys! I love her so much.

I love this

This week we're spotlighting April Daniels, creator of the Nemesis series!

Daniels' first book, Dreadnought, introduces a girl named Danny Tozer who inherits the mantle of her world's foremost superhero—the eponymous Dreadnought—which gives her powers like flight and the feminine body she has wanted ever since she realized she was transgender, and thrusts her into confrontation with a trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF) witch and other supervillains. It was a Lambda Literary Award finalist. Daniels' second book, Sovereign, introduces a genderqueer superhero named Kinetiq, continues to explore the moral and mental health implications of Danny's fights with villains, and has her file for emancipation from her abusive family and find love. A third and final installment in the Nemesis series is currently in development. In 2018, the series was optioned for film to Wayne Brady's production company, Makin' It Up Productions.

Spider

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/RcLwmxY by The_Penitent -- Not a compilation of one shots, this is a crossover fic -- The intertwined story of teenage villain/vigilante Gwen Stacy and teenage Ward Miles Morales as they try to unravel a series of mysteries and save the people they care about most as New York, and maybe their entire universe, crumbles around them. -- This is a first person AU fic, following Undersider Gwen and Ward Miles, who alternate as Protagonists each arc (Gwen odds, Miles evens). It takes place in the world of Worm, but every named character in Worm has been replaced by a different character from one of the sources in the tags. I explain a lot about sources in the text, only vague familiarity with Gwen and Miles is recommended, everything else is explained, you don't need to know all the sources to follow this.
