Wyngraf: Issue 3 Kindle Edition

by Samantha Rich (Author), Rachel Friedman (Author), Matt Evans (Author), Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 10 ratings

The beloved magazine of cozy fantasy returns with its biggest issue yet.

Curl up with heartwarming fiction in the tradition of Legends & Lattes and The Hobbit. Wyngraf #3 includes ten all-new tales of magic, romance, adventure, dragons, and lots of food, plus an essay from the editor on cozy fantasy tropes.

Contents

  • "Windows and Walls" by Nathaniel Webb. This essay surveys the field of cozy fantasy, organizing its tropes into essential base ingredients and optional seasonings, and offers perspective on the role of tropes in genre fiction.
  • “The Rose Quarter” by Samantha Rich. Professor Lineth Tyl isn't known for being warm and caring with her students, but she can't turn down an interesting legal puzzle, especially when love is involved...
  • “The Third Spell” by Rachel Friedman. The Librarian of Sirens' Cove likes everything about her job except the patrons. And the pay. And the food. And the magic.
  • “The Founders' Homesteaders” by Matt Evans. Polly Thistle and her adventuring crew thought a golden dragon egg would be enough to save the orphanage—now they have to win a sporting tournament!
  • "High Pasture" by Liam Hogan. Minding goats on the Arkhan Heights can be a dull job. Good thing there are knights and dragons around to liven things up.
  • "The Four-Copper Box" by Dean Corbin Griffin. When Seldon is caught shirking his chores, his father rushes him off to Yerth for axle pins. A mysterious traveler offers a shortcut, but at what cost?
  • "Worth Her Salt" by Anne Paschkopić. Sue just wants to make Alina, the new baker, feel welcome in town. There's no way Alina would return her romantic feelings—especially not while dealing with an inexplicable string of oven disasters!
  • "Familliar" by Fiona Mossman. Alice is thrilled to be home from Witches' Academy for her first holiday, but she can't seem to leave her academic worries behind, nor is her old life without cares of its own.
  • "Goblin Stew" by Hannah Hulbert. Rotney's grandmother is gone, he's hosting the entire community for her memorial, and the stew is getting dangerously low. But there may be some hope left at the bottom of the pot.
  • "The Ink-Stained Pilgrim" by Michael Martin. In this special epic-scale novelette, Nicolai Canto abandons the life of an accountant for adventure and uncertainty on the open road.
  • "Blightmage" by Alexander B. Joy. Nothing brings Rustine more joy than giving life to golems. Less appealing is the prospect of delivering one to the uncanny Lady Eglid—the woman known as the Blightmage.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Collection of Cozy Fantasy
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    As many readers know, the genre of cozy fantasy is having an entire moment in the publishing industry right now thanks in no small part to the success of books like Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. It's also spawned new sub-genres like cozy sci-fi, and I even heard someone talking about cozy horror the other day! Obviously readers are champing at the bit for more cozy reading, but it's still difficult to find at times.

    Now, cozy reading seekers need look no further than independently published cozy fantasy magazine, Wyngraf. The editor Nathaniel Webb and staff have managed to consistently compile around 200 pages of short stories that will tick every cozy fantasy box. Issue 3 has stories ranging from romance to humor to sports fantasy, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. Each issue also features beautifully commissioned cover art, and issue 3 is no exception.

    This issue opens with an essay from the editor detailing his obvious love for cozy fantasy as a genre. Webb also explores the emerging tenants of what makes a fantasy story cozy. It's obvious that Webb take great pride in finding the best stories for the magazine while doing his best to help develop the sub-genre. I really enjoyed the obvious research Webb put into the essay as well, and I'll be looking into several authors he mentioned!

    After the essay, there is a short forward which includes a summary of each of the ten short stories to follow. Although, Webb admits one of the stories is more properly a novelette in length, it was such an enjoyable read I can't imagine this issue without it. In fact, it was one of my favorite stories in the whole issue.

    This story is called "The Ink-Stained Pilgrim" by Michael Martin. The story begins with a scribe on the edge of burn-out, and it follows him on his journeys after he impulsively quits his job to wander the country. He doesn't have a goal in mind; just a feeling he follows. This story will likely speak to the hearts of many people, and I loved it so much!

    A few of my other favorites included "The Rose Quarter" by Samantha Rich and "High Pasture" by Liam Hogan. In "The Rose Quarter" a crabby professor reluctantly helps a favored student when he is in danger of being evicted from his home. The cozy twist comes from how the student and his boyfriend are saved. Meanwhile, "High Pasture" strays from romance and walks smack into humor. It's short but absolutely hilarious. I was literally laughing out loud while reading it. I don't want to say more because it'll spoil the fun.

    I truly loved every story in this issue, and there are more than a few that I plan to re-read when I need something short and sweet. Magazines like Wyngraf are enjoyable reading anytime, but they are especially nice to have around as a literary palette cleanser between longer fantasy and sci-fi reading. I'll definitely be getting another issue on my own soon!

    I gave Wyngraf, Issue 3 edited by Nathaniel Webb five out of five stars. Anyone at all interested in cozy fantasy should give this magazine a try. It has a wide-ranging variety of stories all still falling within the cozy fantasy sub-genre umbrella, and it is obviously edited with care. The newest issue released recently, and there's also plenty of free stuff on the Wyngraf website if you want to get an idea of what to expect before buying.

    It was a really nice anthology of cosy fantasy short stories, all very different from one another!

    I liked some of them better than others, but overall they were all really cute and nice to read, and definitely made me feel good—and cosy!
