    Stop asking what constitutes a masterpiece or the pinnacle of novel writing. Based on my seven years of experience in various book circles, I can tell you that there's only one: a novel that's concise and to the point, ruthless and decisive, with no internal strife. It's a story of ordinary people and their brothers and sisters forced by reality to experience a series of fierce battles and intrigues in a world of chivalry and adventure.
