I really loved all three books. The Parabatai System is… Well, I think about it almost all the time. The runes, I love the entire system, or what I understand about it. The silent brothers were cool, but they freaked me out to imagine. Loved it.
I really appreciated how Tessa wasn't a constant damsel in distress (at least from how I remember it) and I absolutely adore Jem and Will's friendship, even if they both fell in love with the same woman.
The ending of the last book was.. displeasing though. I did not like how they moved into the modern future and their separation before back together again. I found it disappointing and odd, honestly.
Aside from the main cast, Magnus Bane was my favorite. I did, and will not read Mortal Instruments with the incest but not (from my understanding) thing between jace and clary, or whatever their names are.
I was able to read through them all in a day (one book a day i mean) and it was beyond enjoyable.
I really like the clockwork angel aspect of it as well.
I have a thing for steampunkish clockwork things with some sort of inhuman aspects. Think Arcane (show). I also enjoy darker themes but not at all in the sexual context.
I also DO NOT WANT any hardcore, long, more than a page, smut. I'm fine with sensual stuff or whatever, but i won't do smut.
Preferably adult main characters or characters who are above 18. Also, short chapters but a longgggg stand alone book, if that's possible. Or at least just short chapters 😩
I also like mermaids. Pirates are cool too, but mermaids. They're like my werewolves and vampires.
Just trying to throw out some options. Sorry if this sounds like a ramble.
