My personal favorites are steampunk, coming of age, and alternate history. How about you?

I recently read Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree and I can already tell cozy fantasy is going to be a subgenre I keep going back to when I need something light in my life. In fact, it’ll probably be exactly what I look to when I’m done reading LOTR.

I've heard a lot about Legends & Lattes recently. I'll have to add it to my tbr.

It’s not for everyone, but it’s exactly what it says it is. High fantasy with low stakes. I read it in one sitting while drinking coffee and wish I’d had some baked goods to eat too!
