I really enjoyed this book! It was a wonderfully cozy, magical realism with all my favorite "wicken" things like tea-reading and divination, a witch family and their cat, and a house that is "alive." I loved how each chapter heading had a different tea-reading symbol with meaning and how it sometimes was a foreshadow for what was to coming in following chapters. It was a perfect book for cuddling up in bad weather with a coffee or tea and would totally fit with October vibes.

Pacing was a little slow at times, but it was so heartwarming that I always found myself wanting to read more about the three sisters and learn more about tea-reading. It was a great break from intense, high-stakes fantasy books.

All-in-all, I think this was a promising debut novel!

The cover is what drew me into this cozy fantasy. This book is magical, emotional, and deeply connected to family. It would be the perfect book to read in September when it really starts to feel like fall. I recommend this book to fans of cozy fantasy. Thank you NetGalley for the eARC!

The Cresent Moon Teamroom by Stacy Sivinski is a great cozy mystery. I think this would definitely be a great fall/Halloween read. I really enjoyed the story and found the characters to be very lovable.

Thank you NetGalley & Atria Books for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is messy writing, all over the place, no real plot, extremely hard to follow. The beginning pages really don't add much to the story. While reading this I just kept asking "Why?", and "the point of this is?"

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cozy semi-urban fantasy novel focused around three sisters who run the titular tearoom-fortune telling shop. The Quigley sisters—Anne, Beatrix, and Violet—are witches who specialize in divination, reading the leaves of their customers as they were trained by their mother.

However, as they’ve overcome the loss of their parents, the triplets start to seek out their own passions and their camaraderie starts to show its cracks as each one begins to hide their newfound joys from one another.

This is a brilliant debut novel from Stacy Sivinski, full of cozy tea and a coming of age stories as each witch finds herself as an individual, even as they help others through their powers. I highly recommend this book for fans of the Night Circus and of period fantasy.

Centered around three sisters who are working through their fates both together and separately, this book felt really slow and cozy. I tried to pick this up several different times over the course of about eight weeks but never felt particularly engaged with it, and found myself instead choosing to read other things. The cozy, witchy genre isn't my favorite, so I expect others will more closely connect with this than I did!

Thank you to Atria Books, Stacy Sivinski, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of "The Crescent Tearoom" in exchange for an honest review.

As someone who usually gravitates towards fast-paced, action-packed stories, diving into the world of cozy fantasy with "The Crescent Tearoom" was a new experience for me. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how immersive this book was in setting a distinct "aesthetic." Every time I returned to the story, I found myself craving a spot by the window with a warm cup of tea in hand. Sivinski has skillfully crafted a narrative that embodies the witchy cottage core vibe in written form.

However, I struggled through the book at times, often finding myself distracted from the story because it simply didn't grip me the way I'm used to. "The Crescent Tearoom" feels more like a book you read because you felt like reading, rather than one that completely engrosses you. Unlike other books I've devoured, this wasn't a quick read for me. I found myself so relaxed that I kept drifting off to sleep! 😴

While I enjoyed the storylines of Beatrix and Violet, I found Anne's perspective of her sisters to be somewhat off-putting, as it seemed she felt superior to them. Additionally, Anne's primary mystery, which was the central focus of the story, felt rather mundane compared to the narratives of her sisters.

Overall, I give "The Crescent Tearoom" a rating of 3.5 stars. It succeeds in creating a charming and immersive atmosphere, but the pacing and central storyline left me wanting more. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a cozy read that transports you to a world of witches and tea leaves, this book might just be your cup of tea. ☕️

The Crescent Moon Tearoom, Stacy Sivinski's debut novel, is a lovely story of three clairvoyant, tea leaf reading witch sisters facing and navigating their fates - both individually and as a sisterhood. The characters are charming, Sivinski's writing is cozy and inviting, and the storyline is uplifting. A quick read, perfect for an afternoon with your favorite cup of tea. Very much looking forward to future novels from this author.

I love a good sister book, and Stacy Sivinski does not disappoint! The Crescent Moon Tearoom is delightfully cozy story of family, the ties that bind us together, and the love that allows us to let those we love go. After all, the things that are meant to be will always find a way back to their path.

This was a delightful book that I would consider magical realism. The author does an amazing job at making you feel like you are in the house with the sisters drinking tea and interacting with them. The idea of the house being a living being was adorable and I do love a good book where the cat had the answer all along. I think the author also does a great job of painting the sisters as individuals while still showing them as a cohesive unit, highlighting the struggles family can go through when plans and dreams change. Overall this book was super cozy and made me want a cup of tea.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski is a delightful read that immerses you in a charming, cozy world filled with warmth, friendship, and delectable treats. The author’s vivid descriptions and attention to detail make the tearoom feel like a place you’d want to visit time and time again.

Sivinski’s writing style is engaging and easy to follow, making this book a perfect choice for a relaxing afternoon read. The plot moves at a comfortable pace, blending elements of romance, mystery, and personal growth seamlessly. The way she weaves the theme of tea and its cultural significance into the story is particularly enjoyable and adds a unique touch to the narrative.

One minor critique would be that some parts of the plot felt a bit predictable, and I would have loved a few more unexpected twists. However, this didn’t detract significantly from my overall enjoyment of the book.

Overall, The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a heartwarming and charming novel that will leave you feeling uplifted and content. It’s a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering a soothing retreat into a world where tea, friendship, and personal growth take center stage. Highly recommended for those who enjoy cozy, feel-good reads.

I do not know what to make of this book. I really enjoyed reading it at first, it has such a whimsical tone and tried to bring a cozy lightheartedness to witchcraft. I haven’t noticed it being classified as YA, but it certainly reads that way, along the lines of A Wrinkle in Time, or Harry Potter (although those are definitely superior).

But a little less than halfway through, I felt like I was just trudging along. The writing is nice, though also something I wasn’t sure what to make of. It’s descriptive in a playful way but almost to the point of being superfluous and rather than being something that immersed me into this magical world, I started to get bored. Especially when one character would ask a question and the next character wouldn’t get around to answering that question until the next page. It seems this novel focused so much on the descriptive, flowery writing, that the story seemed to fall by the wayside at times. This is why, at the 49% mark, I began to skim.

This book had a lot of potential and certainly gave me cozy vibes and made me crave a cup of tea, but I also craved the end of the book much too early on. A decent first effort, I believe the editor owed the author a bit more though. As it was written, this book could have been half as long.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski is an even-paced, cozy fantasy - full of magic and tales of fate. Triplets, Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley fight to untangle the stands of their seemingly cursed fate just to discover that not all is as it seems. The push against, not only each other- but themselves to find a way to fulfill their destinies yet stay together, as sisters.

This tale unravels at a good pace and the sisters are similar yet completely different enough to all be interesting for their own personalities. I love that they all protect each other in their own ways, even at the risk of giving up their own dreams.

Thank you, NetGalley and Atria books for early access to read The Crescent Moon Tearoom in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A 3.5-4 star read.

I think people will really love this one! While I do love a witchy cozy vibe, I simply wasn't connecting to this book. I will say I don't think that had anything to do with the writing, I think Stacy's writing was very descriptive and made sure the Quigley sisters were relatable and the tea room and vibe as a whole was quite atmospheric. However, I did find myself kind of skimming my way through the book after about 25%. Whether I just wasn't in the right headspace or the characters just weren't clicking for me to be engaging enough, I do actually believe people will enjoy this and shouldn't be swayed by my reluctance to engage here. It's not you, tearoom, its me.

If you love a cozy fantasy, witchy sisters/Practical Magic energy, and magic, this will be a great read for the fall!

I enjoyed this sweet book about sisters with magic and their goals that must be completed. I've always loved magical houses who anticipate needs. I really want one. I read this book on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

3.5⭐️

This was a cozy, cute paranormal read about 3 sisters who are gifted in magic and put on a path they never dared to be on. Unless it’s all just the work of a witch counsel who wants to see them fail.

This was beautifully written but I did find it to be a bit slow in pace.

Either way, the author has a gift with words (maybe Stacy has the magic of word weaving?!) and it made for the story to easily come to life

Thank you so much for an ARC!

I honestly, truly loved this more than I thought I would! The Quigley sisters were so sweet and so different and I loved that the house was it's own character. I was worried that there would be some unanswered questions at first, but the author beautifully brought everything together and I just really really loved it. I can't wait to see what this author writes next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria for my digital ARC!

Such a cute cozy fantasy. I loved the enchanted house and fast pace of this book. I was reeled in from the beginning.

This was a charming and bittersweet book about the power of love, family and finding your true purpose. Three sisters run The Crescent Moon Tearoom, which is thriving, because the sisters are also witches who practice divination, and reading their customers' tea leaves makes for a loyal crowd who keeps coming back.

But soon things begin to fall apart, as their mother's best friend tells them they have been cursed, and the Witches Council gives them a nearly impossible task, and if the fail, the tearoom will be closed. If the sisters can continue working together, they hope to not only break the curse, but save the tearoom.

This was a cozy read, and I thought that each sister was written with their own voice and personality, which I appreciated as the perspectives shifted between them throughout the book. While the stakes were real, the overall vibe was heartwarming, as you watched the sisters begin to start thinking about their own desires for the first time.

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a cozy, witchy story about acceptance and change. Sisterhood and grief. But most of all becoming your own person. It is full of beautiful writing and relatable characters. Each of the sisters felt so very real. They made mistakes, were indecisive, and afraid of change. In the end they grew so much in such a short amount of time. I loved the setting of the enchanted, cozy tea room. I found myself more than once wishing I could live within the pages of the book so I could visit The Crescent Moon Tearoom. This book was full of heart and mine was bursting by the time I finished the last page. My only issues were that I wished that each chapter was a different sisters perspective inside of sometimes it switching mid chapter. I also wish it was longer and we had more time with each character and their story. However, everything wrapped up nicely. The author left our characters in a very good place.
