What is Cozy Fantasy?
Emerging as a named subgenre in the early 2020s, cozy fantasy trades quests and villains for cafes, gardens, found families, and small personal triumphs in a magical setting. Travis Baldree's 'Legends & Lattes' is widely credited with popularizing the label, which appeals to readers seeking escapism without peril.
