In all of the books related to werewolves I have read this is truly unique.  Bonds of Fenris takes us into the life of Talia and her packmates and explores what has actually happened to them after being bitten and how they can survive in society without dining on their neighbors.  The characters are forced to explore what it really means to be a were and just how they can learn to cope with the emotional, economical, and societal changes that they are now forced to face.  The book begins with Talia in a very low place that is rapidly turning to despair when she chances upon Corwin who appears to be different and in control in ways she never thought possible.  It chronicles the journeys of Talia and her packmates; their personal interactions with each other, as well as their learning process of what it means to have lycanthropy, and how they can cope with this new life.  The book was at times heartbreaking, which made the victories all the sweeter.  I enjoyed the world building, as well as the characters that were well thought-out and very believable.  This is a not a typical UF kick hinny read and focuses more on these few individuals and their journeys offering a different perspective of just what it means to have lycanthropy.  I feel Bonds of Fenris was unique, well written, the ending was satisfying, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre.I received this book from the author with a request for my honest review without any compensation whatsoever, other than the joy of reading a new book.
