Prose- I want the writing to be unique and beautiful, it has to stick in my head somehow
Character tension- I like for there to be an interesting dynamic at play somewhere that elevates whatever else is going on
And setting!- I always look for a compelling setting. Something not just described well but utilized well. It has to feel real and also be more than window dressing
