But the superhero aspect of this book ends up twisting this conversation into something that makes me uncomfortable. Between her father’s dangerous obsession with “curing” her girlhood, her best friend suddenly acting like he’s entitled to date her, and her fellow superheroes arguing over her place in their ranks, Danny feels like she’s in over her head. The Legion can be summed up with statements like “that man who is a plant and wants to remain financially solvent”, “the guy who looks like that Fantastic Four dude”, and “Lady Thor”.

The white capes in their gleaming downtown tower offer unlimited resources and government support, but some seem reluctant to accept a transgender Dreadnought. He fell off continually; every time, despite his prayers and tears, he was lifted up and set upon its back again. When her dirigible is shot out of the sky, Mercy is forced to join the mighty Union-operated steam engine known as the Dreadnought.

I liked Calamity but I loooved Doc Impossible and looked forward to Danielle’s interactions with her. Danielle is just a trans kid trying to survive long enough to escape home and start hormones when she turns eighteen.

For me, this book feels like a first draft that was published without any changes made by an editor.

With a last glance around to check if I'm in the clear I duck out of the parking structure and head down the back side of the mall, toward the ramp that heads up to the elevated roadway running through the city's heart.
