Good and fun, not great.   A little too predictable for me. 
Though I didn't see the mother would become a robot AI.
I am not usually into giant fighting robot, but this was ok.

It was interesting. Nicole Perlman had to be on crack when she reviewed this book as having many twists. I read no twists and found it to be pretty predictable. Also fuck Falk.

Thank you to NetGalley for supplying me with a digital copy of this book to review.

Wardog was a fun read which starts with a straightforward premise of an Earth a generation post-alien invasion and the struggles of those that are left enslaved by the alien conquers, the Mek.

The book was an enjoyable and surprisingly quick read, the story moves at a quick pace and has enough tension to keep you engaged. It has some clever ideas and while it does have plenty of world-building and a reasonable amount of character development, it also leaves enough space and scope which clearly setups a possibly grander continuation of the story.

Overall it was fun and invested me in the world and characters and I look forward to what might come next.
