I enjoyed the writing, it was fun and fantastical! Highly recommend for a fun fantasy novel. It didn't take me long to be interested and read quickly! :D

Unfortunately this is a DNF for me. While I loved the concept and the story was really interesting, I personally do not mesh with the writing style, and that's okay. I would still recommend this book to anyone looking for cozy witch vibes and family this autumn or any time of year to be honest! The characters were interesting and I love that book focuses on family.

DNF @53%

I really wanted to like this as cozy fantasy is my jam, but unfortunately I just couldn’t get into it. I think that this story had potential but there’s something missing. It felt kind of bland? It’s hard to connect with the characters when it seems clear that they are to be treated as a unit (even though Anne is the blatant favourite). I also didn’t understand why it was so important for the sisters to remain together when it seems obvious that all 3 of them are chafing for change. It seems like Anne is the only one who cares to keep the shop running.

I liked the sentient house but found it annoyingly judgemental. These women are like 30 years old, let them lie to each other as much as they please!

Overall this read pretty YA to me, which can be fine, but it’s not exactly what I signed up for.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

What an adorable cozy fantasy read this was!
4.25 ⭐️

I love witchy reads and this one was so fun. The Crescent Moon Tearoom is the shop of three sisters who are witches. They do tea leaf readings and run the shop as a little cafe. Their parents have both passed and this shop has been left to them.

As we go on and learn more about their magical world, we find out that the girls must work together to help other witches finish their “Task” and also break a curse that is trying to separate them. But sometimes fate is what you least expect it to be!

This started a little slow but I wanted to savor and enjoy every page because it was a cozy, witchy, fantasy book and it needed to be enjoyed. We get to read about hydromancy and crystal balls and what different tea leaf symbols mean and it was just a fun ride. It is so uplifting at the end and I really just loved how everything came together.

I can’t believe this is a debut! Thank you to NetGalley for sending me the eARC of this book. All thoughts and options are my own!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a beautifully written cozy fantasy/mystery. I really enjoyed the Quigley triplets and how they explored their own passions and desires outside of running the tearoom. The familial bonds between the sisters are lovely to see and this is the perfect cozy fall read!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cozy fantasy tale about following your heart and finding yourself. The Quigley sisters are clairvoyants who run a tea shop it but are they each meant to do something different? I enjoyed following along with their journeys and was rooting for them.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

A cute, cozy little fantasy about three magical sisters in old Chicago. It’s a little too fluffy for me but I think that’s more my fault than the book’s.

If you liked The Night Circus, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches…give it a try!

What a cute and cozy book helping me prepare for Fall! I dont have sisters but this made me feel like I was close to the sisters on this book. The plot was okay, not too action driven, but that was expected. Its perfect for those of us wanting to cozy it up.

Thanks net galley, publisher and author for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review. This was a cute, cozy read. Short and sweet.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is the perfect cozy fantasy for a fall afternoon.

Triplets Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley are witches who run their own cozy tearoom. Using their powers of divination, they tell their customers' futures during the day and spend time together in the evenings. However, an unexpected task from Council of Witches puts the women's future in jeopardy, and a curse threatens their familial bonds. The harder the sisters work to hold everything together, the more their separate desires threaten to tear them apart. Anne, Beatrix, and Violet must learn to trust their instincts to find a future that keeps their sisterly bonds from tearing forever.

The story is split between the stories of Anne, Beatrix, and Violet. Although the triplets spend much time together, as they start to follow their hearts, they're pulled in different directions, creating a web of secrets. However, they still try their best to protect one another and work towards completing the Council's task to save the tearoom. I loved each of the sisters--they each have their own distinct personality, but they work well as a team, and their family bond is a constant despite their struggles. The sentient house (think Encanto) also has its shining moments and works its hardest to provide comfort and direction to the sisters as they drift apart.

The descriptions in this story are also top-notch. The details in the tearoom--the decorations, the scents, the flavors, the temperature, the dresses, the chatter--provide spectacular imagery and set the story firmly in time (early 1900s) and place (Chicago). Although the magic system is not super detailed, it's detailed well enough to clearly understand the abilities of the triplets and their friends as well as the directive from the Council. I really appreciate that Sivinski makes it clear that there is much more to the world of magic, but what she shares is a delightful taste.

The story's pace is leisurely without feeling slow. There's a hard deadline for the sisters' tasks, which keeps things moving along, but there are also many slow moments as the sisters enjoy a pot of tea in the evening or read tea leaves for their customers. It's the perfect blend (see what I did there?) of fast and slow and will keep readers interested even if they don't mind setting down the story to enjoy some sunshine and their own cup of tea.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a story of sisters, magic, and dreams. Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are all stand-out characters, and the story's descriptions will allow readers to easily imagine they're sitting in the tearoom along with the Quigley's other customers.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cozy witchy fantasy detailing the lives of three clairvoyant sisters as they navigate running a popular tearoom together. Amidst their growing dreams for new and independent adventures, they are all faced with a quest to undertake by the witch's governing council. This book is such a sweet, whimsical and comforting read that is perfect for the fall months when you can read while cuddled up under a blanket with a cup of tea. The beautiful prose and descriptive writing is like a warm hug and truly inserts you into the setting of the book, I didn't want this one to end and found myself wishing for a bit more length if only to enjoy it for a little while longer. I think that certain elements like the other kinds of witches and a bit further development of each individual sister's story would have made this a 5 star read for me but nevertheless it was such a great read. The relationship and bond between the three sisters is reminiscent of my own and I found it to be so heartwarming. I think this will definitely be an autumn comfort read for years to come!

Thank you to NetGalley, Stacy Sivinski and Atria Books for this eARC!

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to review this title. I am such a sucker for a cozy witchy book, no matter the season, sign me up. This one did not disappoint and was really quite enjoyable. I am not as close to my sister as the three in the book but they also helped make me grateful for the relationship we do have.

A very pleasant Cozy Fall Book. I loved the three sisters, and wish that the book were longer. Each sister had such a different adventure that it would have been great to be able to delve into their lives a little bit more. I thought the narration kept things at a good pace. Can’t wait to see what else the author has in store for us in the future!

Huge thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for allowing me to read this early! I absolutely loved this book! From its strong cast of characters to its cozy tea room vibes. This book hits all of the high marks for any cozy reader!

Three witches, triplets in fact, own a cozy tea shop in the heart of Chicago. People line up in droves to get their tea leaves read and futures divined by Anne, Violet, and Beatrix. Everything remains as it should until The Council shows up requesting the triplets help three witches nearing the end of their time. If the triplets don’t find the purpose of the witches, they’ll be cursed to remain on earth as a spirit. The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a story about keeping secrets, coming of age, and understanding that distance does not mean disconnection.

This book was perfect to read late at night while cozied up in bed. It was like a lullaby at the end of my day that helped me drift off to pleasant sleep. The bulk of the book described Violet, Beatrix, and Anne exploring their own individuality. I wish different types of witches (garden witch, word witch, winter witch, etc) that existed in the periphery of the story were investigated more heavily. I would have loved to learn how each witch has their own niche within Chicago and would have prefered that to the repetitive descriptions of Violet escaping the house and running away to the circus. The end of the book helped reorient the purpose of the story, and I felt all the emotions when Violet and Mr. Crowley ran into each other in Grand Central Station. THAT was amazing storytelling and reminded me of some of T.J Klune’s work. All in all, a fun read that fell just short of being an amazing read.

3.5 / 5 Stars

This story is a cozy fantasy involving three sisters as they navigate running a tea shoppe together. They are all faced with a quest by the council amongst their own growing independent dreams. A whimsical, cozy, and perfect fall book that reads slowly but is fit for the holiday seasons coming.

I enjoyed this story and found it to read like a cozy mystery involving magic. My only con is I do think it can be slow, and that the plot was a little lacking. Otherwise I enjoyed it over all and if you’re wanting a light read, I recommend!

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Lovely! Made me cry a bit and reminded me that I need to spend more time with my own sisters. There is nothing quite like that sibling bond. Loved the book and can’t wait for more!

Such a sweet magical book. I wish I had waited to read it when it was published so i could have more of a spooky vibe with it but its fine. I will mostly likely be rereading this a few times. The bond that the sisters have is so sweet and reminds me of my cousins and I and how close we are. It will pull at the heartstrings especially towards the end but what book doesn't. I will say I experienced every emotion reading this and I love that in a book.

Visiting the tearoom run by triplets i never a dull moment. Your fortune can be read and tales will be told! Magical tea and sympathy that is authentic. Perfect for all fantasy readers!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom was an absolute, witchy delight. It follows three sisters who turned their house into a team room after the deaths of their parents. The triplets are individually launched on journeys to find out who they truly are, while wrestling with curses, seemingly impossible tasks, and the Council of Witches.

Sisterhood + coming of age + sentient house + time traveling cat make this story so fun and so poignant. I loved watching each of their stories unfold, rooting for them in each decision that they made.

The growth and evolution of their sisterly relationship was beautifully written. Your heart aches with each of them as they realize that sometimes, things can't stay as they always have been. Dreams are worth pursuing, and sisters will always be there.

Coming out in October, Crescent Moon Tearoom is the perfect fall read for fans of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Wishes, House On The Cerulean Sea, and Hocus Pocus 🧹
