I think it's really difficult! You have to be really good at the characters I think, because the characters have to be interesting and compelling enough to carry the reader through even when there's no obvious driving motivation or action going on with the plot.

And, my personal opinion: I don't think Travis Baldree actually succeeds at it.

I'm curious, do you like any other authors in the 'cozy/low stakes' genre or is it just not a genre you've seen done well yet? I ask because I think Baldree is the only author I've read that has succeeded at it. No judgement though! We all like different things.

NAYRT but just agreeing that Baldree has a great balance. There are a lot of cozy fantasy books that have no stakes, and I've noped out of those.

DA I also think he’s succeeded at it. I laughed at myself a few times in the beginning of Legends and Lattes because nothing was happening and I was still so engrossed.

Any recs for authors you think succeeded?
