Wow--just finished the first book in this series (Sundered), and literally raced through Bound.  I'm blown away by the job that Mayer is doing in terms of building the romantic relationship while at the same time keeping the action and suspense at mach speed!So, to briefly summarize, Mara is back (obviously) and she is growing stronger by the page.  *MINOR SPOILER ALERT* Her relationship with Sebastian is actually MORE interesting and deep, in my opinion, after he became a Nevermore.  To see him overcome the effects of the drug because of his immense love for her is just so powerful.  At the same time, Mayer is introducing new characters at a fast but believable rate.  It is fascinating how all of their actions are ultimately tied to overcoming the Nevermore disease, although some of their paths to their goals are down much more sinister paths than others.Mayer has created an intriguing world in which I yearn to immerse myself.  Kudos to her!  Dauntless is next.
