I have come to the realization that I haven't been in love with a series since Harry Potter... and I read those books 3X already. I want a really good series. I have no qualms against long books, just as long as they aren't written by Stephenie Meyer.
Things I DON'T like: books with so much action that there's little character development; books that involve vampires falling in love; books set in crudely imagined futures with plots stolen from Twilight Zone episodes (*cough Uglies series cough*).
What I DO like: A Series of Unfortunate Events; Gothic books (i.e. the Brönte sisters' work); books with dark humor/dry wit; books that pose interesting questions. On the lighter side of things, I also really liked the Gone Series by Michael Grant, so something similar to that would work too.
BQ: Is the Clockwork Angel series any good?
BQ2: Are there any good fiction books set during World War I?
