It's about a teen trans girl who is transformed into how she thinks she should be when a superhero (Dreadnought) falls from the sky, transfers his power onto her and then dies. So she has to deal with living in a body that fits her, her psycho dad, her best friend who now wants to date her and other superheroes who think she's too young to take over Dreadnought's powers.Welp. That's going on MY list for sure nowThere's a second book too but I don't have that (yet).I have it now and am a few chapters into it. It's called Sovereign and it's already a good read.

Is SPARQL said like "sparkle"?
Reading "Trans" by Helen Joyce - I saw her being interviewed by Richard Dawkins and got interested. About two thirds through, and her argument so far is flawless. I'd be very interested in opposing views.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

I'd be very interested in opposing views.Have not read it, aside from reading the Wikipedia summary five minutes ago, but suspect I would strongly disagree. If it boils down to "subjective reality exists!" vs. "No it doesn't!" I'm not sure what would be new or compelling about the argument.
Oath of Fealty by Elizabeth Moon. I'm reading it for the second time as I bought the rest of the series online with Christmas money.

Kings of the North by Elizabeth Moon. The books are written densely - every sentence carries meaning so I have to be in the mood for concentration.
