Nadya: The Werewolf Chronicles

Honestly, this is my favorite werewolf book. I enjoy the overall story and the way the identity of the protagonist is woven into the story. I particularly enjoyed reading about werewolves in a historical setting.

Nadya is a fantasy historical adventure with romance throughout. As a werewolf story I thought it was rather enjoyable, very different from the few others that I have read. It is set in the 1830's and follows the protagonist as they move along the Oregon trail. Just like the trail itself it is not fast paced and really focuses on the character trials and relationships. I would say that the writing was well done and the characters fit well within the setting but there was often demeaning descriptions of Native Americans when following a handful of characters. Aside from those characters, I don't have the proper knowledge to comment on the way the author chose to depict Native Americans or their cultures. In my opinion it is definitely a show more worthwhile read for those who enjoy werewolf novels. show less

This was a book that had such great potential and could have been expounded upon greatly. Some parts were long and drawn out and others left you wanting for more to fill in the characters.

It was Ok - an unusual take on the werewolf story but a bit repetative. Tiptree shortlist 1996

I went looking for non-disappointing werewolf novels because I couldn't remember many. I don't remember much about this---I should reread it.
