This debut novel combines a cozy, magical atmosphere with the emotional depth of family bonds, making it a captivating read for us fans of enchanted tales and familial drama. I enjoyed reading it.

I think there are folks that will be big fans of this but ultimately the writing wasn't engaging enough for me to be drawn in. By the end of this i was simply skimming to the end out of sheer determination to finish it, but i didn't feel particularly enamored of the writing or any of the characters.
It is however, absolutely itching to be a movie and i could see it excelling in an adaptation for the screen.

This cute, cozy little read sadly just wasn't for me.
I will admit, I tend to be a little picky on the writing style of books, and if it doesn't flow for my brain, I have a hard time connecting with the story, so I will not say don't read this book. It just was not my cup of tea (pun intended?).

This book truly was like a warm cup of tea. It isn't often that I get to experience a book like this. I was honestly hooked on the story from the first chapter. All three characters are so thought out and have their own feelings and goals. While I know some people probably won't like the storybook feel of this, I think it just added to the cozy feeling of the book. Sivinski is a mastersmith a weaving words together. I liked how simple the world building was and the magic system was explained perfectly. Every aspect of this book really felt like sitting down in the middle of fall with candles, a cup of tea, and a warm blanket. Not only were all three sisters stories compelling to read about, all the side characters were well thought out as well. While the development of Violet, Beatrix, and Anne were the main focuses of the story, I also enjoyed reading about the side characters. Ultimately, this is a story about figuring out who you are and learning to grow as their own people. I have absolutely no complaints about this book and cannot wait for whatever magic Sivinski has cooked up next.

thank you Atria books and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book was so charming and cuuuute.

A cozy witch book about a tea shop? I mean what's not to love?

was it the best book I've read all year? no. did it make me want to crochet witch hats, drink tea and gossip with friends? absolutely. 3.5⭐ (rounded up to 4)

This book was so lovely, I could almost imagine myself in the parlour of this home! Part ‘Kiki’s Delivery Service’ and part coming-of-age tale, this book was such a lovely story that I couldn’t put it down!

This book follows the Quigley sisters, Anne, Violet and Beatrix; triplet witches that have taken over their parents’ shop after their passing, and turned it into the Crescent Moon Tearoom. The three witches sell tea and pastries to their human customers, and also read their tea leaves and give peeks into their futures. The sisters have worked well together, and know the flows of their roles in the family. However, the three sisters are beginning to diverge, and are trying to keep their lives the same, while wanting to pursue their own dreams. Anne is growing in her abilities to see the future, while Beatrix is wanting to grow as a writer. Violet, the daydreamer of the three, is drawn to a circus that has arrived in town. While battling their own dreams and wanting to stay as they are, the council leaders of the witch coven have challenged them to help three witches find their Tasks, things they must accomplish before they pass, or else lose the Tearoom.

This book is so lovely and cozy, I could curl up in their tearoom all day! There is so much detail put into the book, that it’s easy to imagine the home and the characters within. The way the sisters interact with each other felt very human, with wanting to pursue their own dreams, but still wanting to stay together, kept the story flowing so well. Anne’s determination, Violet’s dreaminess and Beatrix’s creativity give the characters their own depth, which is needed in this type of story. It truly was lovely reading of how they grow together as individuals.

I received a digital ARC from NetGalley and Atria Books. Thank you very much for the copy, all opinions are my own

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cozy story of triplet witch sisters who own a tearoom in the early 20th Century. In addition to delicious cakes and tea they read tea leaves for their patrons. The story follows their paths to living their lives to the fullest as individuals and as sisters. This is a perfect story to snuggle up with under a blanket with a good cup of tea and biscuits.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is everything I want in a cozy fantasy book. There's tea, pastries, and witchy magic! I love the feeling I got while reading about the triplets, Anna, Beatrix, and Violet. Getting to understand them each while they experience their personal growth throughout the story is so enjoyable, each one with their own struggles that they must overcome and grow from. They are tasked to help three elderly witches and find themselves along the way. There is not lacking in coziness and the tearoom isn't just a setting in the background. So be sure to get yourself comfy with your favorite warm drink and get ready to dive in with this one.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC!

This story was so inventive, and has such a rich feel to it. The cover implies that it will be cozy and magical, and that's exactly what you get from it.

A wonderful, cozy fantasy read! Our three magical sister MCs can read the future and are often helping others find their path in life. We go along the journey of watching these sisters grow, make mistakes, and find their voices in the world. It was such a beautiful story with so much heart, and made me wish I had that type of sisterly love. I also adore when books have enchanted houses, and this one made me wish I could experience all the house's cute details and quirks!

Thank you to Atria Books and Netgalley for providing me an advanced copy of this book.

This book was not what I expected, but turned out better than I thought! I requested this solely off of the cover design, but I really did end up enjoying the story!

Arc review!

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cozy book at three triplet witches who run a tea shop together. In their shop they read the tea leaves of their customers to provide them insight. However, one day the council arrives, asking for their help. If they don't succeed, the tea shop will be shut down.

As they work their way towards their goal the sisters realize that something much larger is at play.

Overall this was a cute book, but I found it didn't keep me super engaged throughout. It took me a solid 1-2 months to get through, as I only ever felt up for reading a chapter or two at a time while I read other things.

A lovely historical fantasy with witches, fortune telling and tea. A cozy and sweet read, perfect for autumn evenings with a cup of tea. I love the sibling relationships and the portrayal of triplets. The atmosphere was on point; I adore enchanted houses, and the sweet t treats and the uplifting vibes.

Will probably reread it in October.

I know NetGalley really encourages you to give a summary first but frankly, you can get that from the blurb and I am all swoony vibes over this one and want to jump right in to my review.

My setup: In the past 12 months, my mom has cheated death thrice. Shortly after she was surgically cured of cancer, my husband and I went for an anniversary weekend to Chicago, where I fell and broke my elbow and ankle. I've moved on to the PT stage now but if there was ever a time in my life that I wanted cozy magical comfort, it is now. Whew.

Even though Anne, Beatrix, and Violet are triplets, I really liked that they give oldest, middle, youngest vibes, because I think there is at least one character most people can relate to. The atmosphere in this book cannot be beat: though Chicago was mean to me, there's part of me that wants to go back and see if I can find a tea shop like this. I loved the house as a character and I thought the circus was as beautifully realized as the tea shop.

This book does suffer a little from mushy middle where the characters seem to spin in place a little, but I can forgive that because I thought Sivinski got herself out of it pretty quickly. I also thought the council of witches got off easy for their shady behavior and I wish there had been some kind of consequence for them. My biggest issue (which is just a me thing) is that i was desperate for recipes at the end. Do I want honeycake and scones to eat while I read this? Yes! Maybe the publisher will put them in some kind of reading group guide.

If you are in a place where you need some cozy fantastical comfort, or if you like atmospheric books for October that aren't scary, or if you liked the The Very Secrety Society of Irregular Witches, this is the book for you. 4.5 stars

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this debut novel early, All gushing is my own opinion, which becomes obvious if you look at my other NetGalley reviews.

Sivinski's debut novel, The Quigley Sisters, is a charming and cozy read that feels perfectly suited to the crisp beginning of October. This book wraps you in a comforting embrace, offering a serene and even-paced narrative that enhances its overall coziness.

The story introduces us to the triplet witch sisters—Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley—who, despite their shared appearance, possess unique strengths and interests. Following the death of their parents, the sisters have established a tearoom where they serve delectable desserts, tea, and fortunes. Their focus has always been on guiding others, but as a threatening curse looms and the Council of Witches imposes daunting tasks upon them, they are forced to embark on a journey of self-discovery.

The novel beautifully explores themes of personal growth and following one's dreams. The sisters' individual paths and personal development are portrayed with warmth and depth, making their journey both engaging and inspiring. Sivinski's writing captures the essence of a small, magical world where every detail contributes to the story's cozy atmosphere.

Overall, The Quigley Sisters is a delightful debut that successfully combines magic with heartfelt character exploration. It's a perfect read for those looking for a gentle, enchanting story that leaves you with a sense of calm and contentment. Highly recommended for fans of cozy mysteries and magical tales!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I will fully disclose that I initially requested this ARC because it included tea, witches, and a beautiful cover.

This turned out to be such a cozy read - and the beginning of October is such a perfect release date. It feels like a comforting hug that leaves you with a sense of calmness. It's a slower story but it's even-paced (which I think further adds to the coziness). This is Sivinski's debut book and I think she did a lovely job with it.

In this story, we meet triplet witch sisters (Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley) who are seers. After the death of their parents, they opened a tearoom where they serve desserts, tea, and fortunes. They've spent a lot of time focusing on the futures of others, but with the threat of a curse upon them and the Council of Witches requesting they complete seemingly impossible tasks, the sisters begin to explore their own paths.

While the sisters may look the same, except for their eye colors, they have vastly different strengths and interests. Ultimately, this story is about following your dreams and becoming who you were meant to be.

i can't believe this was a debut novel from this author. the author seemed liie she has been writing for her entire life or something. i feel like this book would be ideal to charmed fans. the 1998 charmed, not the poor excuse of a reboot

Thank you to Atria Books and NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Crescent Moon Tearoom. I want to state upfront that I did DNF this book at 17% after realizing that I was not the intended audience for it.

This story is about a trio of witchy sisters set in Chicago in the late 1800s. Based on the cover, I expected this book to be on the relaxed side of the witch lit spectrum, perhaps with a romantic subplot. I would qualify this as cozy fantasy, as it is slower paced and has a somewhat distant narrative voice that errs on the side of telling rather than showing. I had hoped for something a bit faster-paced that dug into witchy phenomenon, rather than the more average descriptions of decor and chores.

I did enjoy the idea of a Jane Austen-esque teashop where the ladies of Chicago went to socialize and have little magics bestowed upon them, and the personality of the house is — in my opinion — a big selling point of this book.

Overall, this book was not for me but I do think that readers of authors such as Rebecca Thorne or C.S. Lewis might enjoy it.

Three sisters run a tearoom since the death of their parents, each with different abilities. When the Council of Witches
calling with three tasks to be completed or the tearoom will be closed, As the sisters deal with the challenges, each
is pulled in a different direction, putting their sisterly bond under stress. In the end, their mother's book will lead them to realize that their bond will remain as each follows her own path.
A charming story. about the bond between sisters.

This was a well-written, well plotted book about triplet sister witches who must find thei own ways in the world and beat a magical curse. There's nothing wrong with this book. If you're looking for a lighter historical fantasy, you'll probably enjoy it. But there's nothing new or exciting about it, and it left me feeling a little meh. Sivinsky knows how to write a story, so I have hope that, much like her charcters, she'll come into her power when the time is right.
