Even that's going to be hugely subjective. Plus, there are lots of great writers that HATE the work of other great writers and think it's terrible. If there really were objective standards then I feel like this wouldn't be possible.

You're assuming that the writers in question judge the works of those other writers using objective standards, which is usually not the case at all.

I think there are objective standards to a certain extent.
Either way, there are some books that I think are absolute garbage (say, Divergent) in terms of basically every aspect, and others which I think are quite good (but not necessarily everybody's cup of tea), say Harry Potter.
