SBTB HQ recently came across this book on Twitter and we launched into a discussion about wanting more cozy fantasy titles in our life. Here’s is the tweet that started it all:
So I wrote a novel. A cozy fantasy novel, about an orc barbarian-ess who retires to open a coffee shop. And I just got my final cover art, and I love it so, so much. Thank you @EmberWickArt! pic.twitter.com/kaqPRkC3Mt

Sarah: Penric all the way. Some of them are a little angsty, especially those that deal with plague, but the first one is one of my comfort re-reads.
Lord of Stariel would qualify for sure! And the TJ Klune series, beginning with The House in the Cerulean Sea.
Shana: Ok, so does cozy fantasy mean it’s set in a village, like a cozy mystery? Or is it more about being comforting and low conflict?
Amanda: The latter I’m interpreting.
Give us all the cozy fantasy recommendations!
