run-on sentences
2. I prefer when a book is solely about a single character and Iron Bark Hill was entirely focused on Natalie. (run-on sentence)
3. The chapters about her past were in the right places, they provided more information about her perspective. (run-on sentence)
4. This novel seemed like it was edited by a professional, I could not find a single error. (run-on sentence)
Are any of these not run-on sentences, because I don't think some of them are but I don't know for sure?

In the second sentence there should be a comma after character, because those are two independent clauses.
Paragraphs 3 and 4 are not necessarily run-on sentences, but they would be more grammatically correct if they were two sentences or separated by a semicolon rather than a comma. They both contain two independent thoughts that are not connected by a coordinating conjunction.
