#shadowhunter chronicles

Jace and Clary were just two teenagers that were manipulated by a grown ass man to make them think that they were horrible people so that they would help him. Valentine experimented on them and psychologically tortured them its a terrible situation for anyone to be in they were being abused and people need to realize that.

It's not as if they found out the were siblings and just decided they didn't care. No they did care and they broke up Clary even tried to move on by dating Simon but she just couldn't suppress her feelings for Jace which made her feel like she was disgusting and by proxy us the reader, which was exactly what Valentine wanted Clary to feel like.

Charlotte (a 23 year old woman) is running the Insitute in a time when women weren't even deemed societal appropriate if they wore PANTS

Tessa is intended by her brother to be the sacrificial lamb for his sins, and she recognizes the root of that before he even acknowledges it when she says that he was always babied and spoiled etc and has not seen consequences or issue with his actions prior to [present book time]

Jem is disabled. Jem is chronically ill and fucking disabled. He is also depicted as attractive as hell, charming beyond belief, and an incredible warrior. At no point does anyone discredit him because of his illness, and Cassie even takes the time to say that "if anyone thought it odd to see a boy of such a young age using a walking stick, they said no such thing." Outside of that, Jem's illness is depicted realistically, but it is never used as pandering or inspiration p0rn. It is so fucking pleasant that a main character is allowed to exist disabled, it can contribute to the plot, but nobody in the story is fucking weird about it. Also, his best friend opting to partner with him for life as fighting partners and blood brothers? Not letting Jem's condition change anything about how [Will] perceives him as both a fighter and a brother? Immaculate.

Period accurate societal expectations being addressed: Sophie losing her job because of her face being cut (pretty privilege, parlor maid pre-req being that you must be attractive to look at); Jessamine fighting so avidly against her training because it is unladylike and she fears it will prevent her from leading the life of a "normal woman" of the time.

She starts to learn violin with Jem as her teacher and she has Tessa tell her all about the Carstairs family and her ancestors over the years. She is the older sister Kit never had and he is the younger brother she never had and their sibling banter is legendary. She takes being a role model to Mina and him very seriously.
