The pacing was very stilted, and there were definite moments where things felt incongruous and out of place in the timeline of the novel. Whilst I enjoyed the book, it was far from perfect. The premise of the novel was incredibly promising, however, it didn’t quite live up to the hype that was created online. It details how Danny came to be a superhero, whilst struggling with her own gender identity along the way. This novel is very much like any other superhero origin story. She is thrilled! Except now she has to handle the existence of her transphobic parents, and the judgement of superheroes who don’t believe she is capable of taking on the mantle of the city’s best known superhero. When she is given these powers, her body is changed, physically, into one of a biological female. After a series of unfortunate events, Danny is gifted the powers of the all-powerful superhero Dreadnought. All that this LGBT+ superhero novel has to its name, unfortunately, are dreadfully shallow characters in a paper-thin universe.ĭreadnought is a novel about Danny Tozer, a 15 year old transgirl.
