Gundog by Gary Whitta

2.0

I really really really wanted to love this book! The premise and most aspects of the story appealed to me; overlord aliens, long lost mech, a strong female lead, etc.

It felt like the bones for a movie script though. There was the potential for so much depth, description and world building and I feel the surface was barely scratched. There were also a lot of filler characters and parts of the story that had no real meaning or relevance.

Unfortunately the idea of this book was better than the reality. It would probably make a decent movie though.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and Inkshares for a copy.
