The characters. I’m a character driven reader, so I don’t care about genre as much as I care about what the characters are doing. They could be awful, but they need to be interesting (at least to me).   reply

I agree, Characters have to have understandable motives. Nothing is better than being able to agree or disagree with a character, it makes them seem more human.
