Publisher's summary
The highly anticipated sequel to Dreadnought, featuring "the most exciting new superheroes in decades." (Kirkus)
Only nine months after her debut as the superhero Dreadnought, Danny Tozer is already a scarred veteran. Protecting a city the size of New Port is a team-size job, and she's doing it alone. Between her newfound celebrity and her demanding cape duties, Dreadnought is stretched thin, and it's only going to get worse.
When she crosses a newly discovered billionaire supervillain, Dreadnought comes under attack from all quarters. From her troubled family life to her disintegrating friendship with Calamity, there's no lever too cruel for this villain to use against her.
She might be hard to kill, but there's more than one way to destroy a hero. Before the war is over, Dreadnought will be forced to confront parts of herself she never wanted to acknowledge.
And behind it all, an old enemy waits in the wings, ready to unleash a plot that will scar the world forever.

Story
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Princess Aurora. The last heir to Briar’s throne. Kind. Gracious. The future queen her realm needs. One who isn’t bothered that I am Alyce, the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Humiliated and shamed by the same nobles who pay me to bottle hexes and then brand me a monster. Aurora says I should be proud of my gifts. That she...cares for me. Even though a power like mine was responsible for her curse. But with less than a year until that curse will kill her, any future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegrating

Maria Griffiths is almost thirty and works at a used bookstore in New York City while trying to stay true to her punk values. She’s in love with her bike but not with her girlfriend, Steph. She takes random pills and drinks, but doesn’t inject anything except, when she remembers, estrogen, because she’s trans. Everything is mostly fine until Maria and Steph break up, sending Maria onto a cross-country trek. She ends up in the backwater town of Star City, Nevada, where she meets James, who is probably but not certainly trans, and who reminds Maria of her younger self.

Achilles has fled her home and her vicious Myrmidon clan to live as a woman with the kallai, the transgender priestesses of Great Mother Aphrodite. When Odysseus comes to recruit the “prince” Achilles for a war against the Hittites, she prepares to die rather than fight as a man. However, her divine mother, Athena, intervenes, transforming her body into the woman’s body she always longed for, and promises her everything: glory, power, fame, victory in war, and, most importantly, a child born of her own body.

Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult can’t get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with. But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. The ALC’s leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji’s darkest secret.

Dorky, socially awkward entomology student Evelyn wakes up one morning to find herself as some sort of alien-human hybrid trapped on an unknown planet. Once the initial panic winds down, she quickly learns she's capable of producing more of herself: additional bodies all sharing one mind. Being well-versed in sci-fi tropes, she quickly resolves to not devour the planet and turn into an unflinching biological armada, and instead uses her new powers to try and help as many people as possible. Unfortunately, it turns out that helping people is often very, very difficult.

It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

The Bourne Identity meets Divergent in this action-packed debut thriller with a Katniss-esque heroine fighting to regain her memories and stay alive, set against a dystopian hospital background.
Sarah starts a crazy battle for her life within the walls of her hospital-turned-prison when a procedure to eliminate her memory goes awry and she starts to remember snatches of her past. Was she an urban terrorist or vigilante? Has the procedure been her salvation or her destruction?
The answers lie trapped within her mind. To access them, she'll need the help of the teen computer hacker who's trying to bring the hospital down for his own reasons, and a pill that's blocked by an army of mercenary soldiers poised to eliminate her for good. If only she knew why…
"This is a snap-the-whip story, dark and fast. The sparks of humor in the voice won me over. Bottom line: I think the cocktail of suspense and believable smart-assery adds up to an addictive dose of reader appeal." —Blythe Woolston, author of the William C. Morris Award winner The Freak Observer

Kim Lam is an ordinary college student until a freak scientific accident (what else?) transforms Kim and three housemates into Sparks - and drafts them into the never-ending war between the Light and Dark. They struggle to master their new abilities - and (of course) to design cool costumes and come up with great hero-names. Turns out that "accident" was just the first salvo in a Mad Genius's latest diabolical scheme. Now it's up to four newbie heroes to save the day, before they even have a chance to figure out what their team's name should be!

Book 2 gave much suspense then I thought it would
The join in this book was connecting the dots like in a Sherlock Holmes novel. Just with the comedy and ethic issues Dreadnought (book 1) started. Totally recommend listening to.

Magnificent series
Great voice actor, great story, great characters. Worth your time and dime. This story does what super hero stories do best: tackle on actual social issues through a lens allowing people from all walks of like to experience a side of reality they’ve never explored. It’s great how this story uses gender and sex fluidity as a central part of the plot.

The highs are higher, and the lows are lower
Danielle suffers alot in this book, but she keeps going where others may have given up. This was a book that I figuratively could not put down, and was always looking forward to hitting the "Play" button when I was back in the car.
The author has done her research on multiple subjects that help build the world in a more believable manner (ie: how does a flying superhero navigate when flying in near-Earth orbit?).
I've got to mention that the character Kinetic was confusing to me, because the book refers to Kinetic as they or them instead of he or she, so it sounds like we're talking about multiple people instead of one person. I had to keep remembering that Kinetic was one person, not a group or a team.
The narrator did a great job with the different voices for the different characters, though if I had to nitpick, the voices for Doc and Calamity sound kind of similar.
Greywitch is a character I loved to hate

Once again I'm fucking in love with the story
I got everything I wanted from this sequel, even the inevitable next step of Danny and Sarah's relationship, that I was left wanting from the previous book, but now has finally happened and I smiled like mad when it did. I CAN'T wait for a third installment in this series and see how Dreadnought's story continues.

Not as good as first book
Formulaic for super hero stories. Lots of zaps and bops against evil super villains. Not so much character building and new perspectives. Narrator is great with very effective voicing of characters.

powerful
after reading both books have just have to say how powerful of an under message these books have. growing up gay in a catholic house was terrifying and this did bring up some bad memories but in a way that made me relate closer to the main character. i truely hope that this series continues.

Even better than the first one!
Picking up shortly after Dreadnought left off, Danielle 'Dani' Tozer's life is busy. Having been kicked out by her transphobic parents in Dreadnought, Dani has filed for emancipation. Living with Doc, the two of them have also come up with some plans for a new superhero group in New Port. Plans for the announcement go awry when Dreadnought is pulled away from the superhero conference they're attending to deal with a supervillain issue in New Port. During the battle, the villain makes some crazy statements that Dreadnought ignores - until things start to go crazy and she can't.
When trying to help a new superhero friend control her powers. Dani/Dreadnought runs afoul of a billionaire supervillain, and that's when things start to go sideways. I can't really say how without giving away some major spoilers, but it's a crazy kind of sideways. In addition, Dani is still dealing with the psychological aspect of the abuse she has suffered in her life thus far, as well as trying to rebuild her own self-esteem and sense of self-worth.
As much as I enjoyed listening to Dreadnought, Sovereign is better. In addition to dealing with Nemesis, which Utopia had warned Dreadnought about, we learn that problem with Nemesis is bigger than dealing with a single supervillain. So, between the bad guys Dreadnought is having to fight, the mental health aspects of surviving and escaping an abusive situation only to have her escape challenged in court, and navigating the difficult landscape of working with Calamity in the public eye when she is classified as a grey cape, and thus often at odds with the New Port police force, when Dreadnought is a white cape, Dani/Dreadnought has a full plate. Of course, we can't forget the Grey Witch - the terf member of the league who revealed Dani's identity to her parents in the previous novel. Though there were several storylines wrapped up at the end of that novel, Grey Witch's was not one of them, nor is she willing to give up on her conviction that Dani doesn't deserve to carry the mantle of Dreadnought.
As a result, it certainly comes as no surprise that she doesn't always respond or react in the healthiest manner. I can't imagine that anyone who has dealt with as much as she has would, much less someone who is only sixteen years old. In fact, I think one of my favorite parts of this book was how much it dealt with Dani's struggle to control her anger and the fallout of how her struggles - and sometimes failures - end up affecting the perception of her by the people of New Port that she wants to help and/or save.
With the way this book finished, I kind of hope the author writes another book in this universe - not necessarily from Dani's/Dreadnought's point of view - because it is an interesting universe, and I, for one, still have questions. That's not to say this book left questions unanswered. It didn't. At least, not any questions related to the plotlines in this book. Those were handled quite well - some expectedly and some unexpectedly.
As with Dreadnought, I listened to the audiobook version of this book, again narrated by Natasha Soudek. Aside from the odd voice choice for Charlie - which wasn't bad, just weird - she gave yet another fabulous performance, and I want more of it.
I want more Calamity. I want more Dreadnought. I want more Doc. I want more Charlie. And I especially want to learn more about the thing that was revealed about Charlie at the end. No, I'm not going to say what it is; you'll just have to read/listen to the book to find out what it is. And you absolutely should because this book is worth it.
