- Character Development: How well are the characters developed? Do they feel real, complex, and well-rounded? Do they grow and change throughout the story?
- World-building: This is especially important in high fantasy books. Is the setting of the book believable and immersive? Does it adhere to its own rules? Is there depth to the world, its history, and its culture?
- Writing Style: How is the prose? Is it eloquent, vivid, and expressive? Does it keep you engaged, or is it difficult to follow?
