Oh gawd yes. I find Chambers' books interesting, in that they have taught me that though I like cozy, there is uh...there's a limit to how much cozy I like at the expense of Things Actually Happening. I really liked the first book in Monk and Robot, and then Book 2 hit me the same way some of Chambers' scifi does, where I was violently shaking the book up and down, hoping that some plot (ANY PLOT) would fall out.
