So all the putzing about the inn, characters trying out business ventures, growing slowly, having intimate moments, silly powers, flashing to other plots you have no idea how could possibly eventually intersect with the inncrew and interesting provactive explorations of the world and the system that underlies their lives and growth, all combined with the important matters brewing in the background really worked well for me and still felt worthwhile in a literary sense. I honestly think some of these books and the cozy fantasy genre, are kind of backlashes to books becoming too driven by plot, instead of having it grow organically from the characters and setting, it feels like a new movement, to refer back to something I've brought up in other contexts about competing artistic movements.
