I also struggled a bit with Danny being a pain. I get that it’s an integral part of the story, but it honestly just felt too much like a crutch. It really felt that Daniels got too heavy-handed with the queer politics, as fascinating as they were, and it distracted too much from the story for my taste. As much as I enjoyed this book, it’s not as strong as the first. Sovereign picks up not long after the events of Dreadnought and Danny is coming more to terms with her powers as Dreadnought and coming more to terms with her transition. What I didn’t realize then or now was that it was only in January of this year that I read Dreadnaught and less than five months later I was able to request Sovereign, the sequel.* When I read April Daniels’ debut novel, Dreadnought I lamented the length of time I had to wait until the second in the series came out.
