Recs if you like Never Die (The Mortal Techniques)...

Self-contained SFF books that belong to a series, offering a complete story without a multi-book commitment. A perfect way to sample immersive worlds while limiting potential disappointment – yet still leaving more to explore if you liked it.

Charis Loke is a Malaysian illustrator who creates maps and various art and illustrations for books. Her style mixes ink textures with digital painting.

This list includes all (to the best of my ability to compile) the books that feature her work. Please note that some apply to only select editions of books (The Broken Binding etc.)

List idea stolen shamelessly from @kenznais.

Look, I appreciate Cozy Fantasy and other cozy reads... but, to me, there are other books which fulfill the function of giving my brain a break and helping me relax and leave behind the stress of the real world. So this is a list of feel-good, "cozy" reads for all of you who don't find the usual cozy reads relaxing. Enjoy.
