“The novel was greatly interesting in the first eleven chapters - independent of the TEAM of the leading character. However, the MEAT in the narrative of the TAME MATE in the final chapter is a major lacuna in the otherwise perfect yarn.”
The four italicized strings should be substituted for another four strings of letters, each being the anagram of three others. (Each string should have a length of at least 8.)
Note: Plurals, proper names, slangs abbreviations, acronyms and archaic words are not allowed.
The most likely candidate I found I placed to the right of the corresponding set of anagrams.
