Is it interesting characters? Or believable motivations? Maybe writing style? Is the world building?

And how likely are you to enjoy a book that doesn’t fit your own criteria?

Prose, themes, character arcs, plot are the essential building blocks of a novel.

All 4 of these are important for a book to be a masterpiece, with plot being the least important.
