I think they are such a cute couple, and even though they don’t always get along (mainly because of misunderstandings) I love how they are there for each other no matter what. The romance between Danny and Calamity was hands down one of my favourite things about Sovereign. I think fans of big action sequences will definitely enjoy this element of Sovereign because they were incredibly well done and planned out. While I can appreciate the time and effort put into these kinds of scenes I don’t always enjoy them a lot – even in superhero movies these scenes are not my favourite. There were moments of vulnerability, with Calamity and Doc, but I just would have liked to see her retain some of that softness while she grew as a person and character.Īs I mentioned before, there was a much bigger focus on the superhero and action aspects of the story in Sovereign. I loved her for all her vulnerabilities in the first book so I suppose I missed that aspect of her personality in Sovereign.
And I sorely missed them.ĭanny was a little more hot-headed in this book. Because Danny’s character and her relationships were mainly set up already in the first book I guess there was less of a focus on those aspects in Sovereign. One of the aspects I loved so much in the first book of this duology was the focus on Danny as a character, and her relationships with the people around her.
I think one of the reasons why I didn’t fall in love with Sovereign like I did with Dreadnought is because it has a lot more focus on the superhero side of things. I liked it quite a bit, but it just didn’t live up to Dreadnought for me. Which is why I’m sad that I didn’t love Sovereign. Before the war is over, Dreadnought will be forced to confront parts of herself she never wanted to acknowledge.Īnd behind it all, an old enemy waits in the wings, ready to unleash a plot that will scar the world forever. She might be hard to kill, but there’s more than one way to destroy a hero. From her troubled family life to her disintegrating friendship with Calamity, there’s no lever too cruel for this villain to use against her.
When she crosses a newly discovered billionaire supervillain, Dreadnought comes under attack from all quarters. Between her newfound celebrity and her demanding cape duties, Dreadnought is stretched thin, and it’s only going to get worse. Protecting a city the size of New Port is a team-sized job and she’s doing it alone. Only nine months after her debut as the superhero Dreadnought, Danny Tozer is already a scarred veteran.
