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.

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.
Even better than the first one!

Book 2 gave much suspense then I thought it would

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
