Doc Impossible, Calamity, they were very well-rounded and had their own agendas. I also really loved the supporting characters as well. While I am not trans and can’t fully understand the feelings that Danny has, the author really bridges that gap by fleshing out the main character flawlessly. She’s resilient, strong, and understandably confused by this sudden change in her life. Oh my gosh, the characters! Danny is deep, and I love everything about her. That being said, let’s start with the characters. As a member of the LGBT community, we don’t get to see great works like this very often, and its important to recognize books like this when we get the chance. What will Danny choose? To become a superhero to honor Dreadnought’s parting gift? Will Danny be able to accept the body she’s always dreamed of having?įirst off, I want to say how happy I am that a great LGBT book like this has come around. Great powers that can save, that can destroy. He’s got a woman’s body, the body he’s always dreamed of, and powers. A transformation occurs when he accepts Dreadnought’s powers. Immediately everything is different for Danny. Dreadnought is in his death throws, and as he dies, he bestows his power upon Danny. That all changes one afternoon when the famed superhero Dreadnought comes crashing down from the sky just yards away from him. He’s lived his life trying to hide his secret, wishing that one day he could just be the person he sees so clearly in his mind. Though he’s physically a man, he has always associated himself as a woman. It gave me all the feels and then some.ĭanny Tozer has always lived with a secret. This book was EVERYTHING, I really mean that. This is my first reading of anything by April Daniels, and I am just floored by how amazing my experience was. My first Bookish Blind Date is a book review of Dreadnought by April Daniels. I figured that doing this would help me branch out from my usual style of reading, and boy am I happy I did this! If you have any suggestions or opinions on this segment, feel free to comment. I’m not allowed to do any research on the book other than verifying it is indeed the first book in a series if applicable. I look at the cover and read the synopsis on the back. I go in to the library and look on the shelves. My Bookish Blind Date segment is super simple. I tend to research my books ahead of time on Goodreads before actually checking them out, but sometimes you just need to do something new and spontaneous.

I’m back from my brief hiatus, and have a new segment to introduce! As you know, I love reading.
