stephanelli commented on a post
I just finished reading A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking which I've seen recommended a lot as a cozy fantasy book, but which to me didn't personally feel like it classified based on some of the content and themes which were on the heavier side. From what I've read there's no unanimous definition of the genre, but some common attributes I've heard are: magical/fantastical elements, slice-of-life stories, kind characters and positive relationships, hopeful/happy ending, lower stakes, non-triggering, etc. Personally, I want a cozy fantasy to broadly just provide an escape into a somewhat better world, and I want to feel generally happy while reading it. What do y'all think - what do you consider "cozy fantasy," and are any of the above attributes some that you think are particularly important (or on the contrary, any that you disagree with)?
