What elements are, in your opinion, necessary to make a good book? - eviltoast

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?

    To me, variety in characters is oddly important. By this, I don’t mean a superficial diversity, even if that helps, but more on the emotional level. If all the characters are smart and outgoing, or introverted and shy that doesn’t make for an interesting read in my opinion.
