I don't think 'among others novel' has a recognized significance as it is. It might be a wrong expression. If it were 'among other novels', then it could signify a novel's place within a body of literature, like how it compares to other works in terms of popularity, critical acclaim, or its contribution to a genre.
Well, that's hard to say for sure. Popularity can vary based on different factors like genre, art style, and story themes. Maybe some of your faves are hits with a specific group of people, but not as well-known overall.
The depth of character development also matters. In a great spiritual romance, the characters are not just flat. They grow and change as they explore their spirituality. Take 'Eat, Pray, Love' for instance. Elizabeth Gilbert goes through a transformation during her travels. Her experiences with different forms of spirituality shape her as a person and also influence her romantic encounters. It's this multi - faceted character growth that sets these novels apart.
The 'A Haven Point' novel stands out for several reasons. Firstly, the detailed world-building creates a rich and immersive experience. Secondly, the themes explored are thought-provoking and relevant. Finally, the relationships between the characters are intricately developed and feel genuine.
