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 🧹

Three sisters are faced with a twisted fate at the bottom of their teacups. As their powers change over time they start to learn more about themselves.

A lovely book; a perfect fall read. Cozy and magical, with a vivid setting and charming story. All it needs is an armchair and a cup of tea on a brisk day.

Readers who dislike predictability may grow frustrated with the storylines of the the three sisters, each with identical twists and turns that unfold in turn neatly, but if the mirroring storylines don't bother you, than you can be swept away on their journeys.

Readers of The Night Circus will find similar magical delight in this novel; it nestles into autumn neatly to be a delightful tale. So excited to see what this author does next.

This book is just as it claims. It is a novel of sisterhood, self discovery, and magic. Set mostly in a cozy Tearoom where the sisters do reading they have to unravel the mystery of a curse, and the task set upon them by the Witch’s Council. Very sweet, even though the pacing was a little slow at times I do wish we would have gotten more of Beatrix and Violets interactions with their love interests and maybe a little more insight as to why Anne felt like the “mother” but didn’t want a relationship or children. I feel like those parts were glossed over rather quickly. I would have also liked to have revisited the other witches they helped and not just Mr. Crowley. Overall really enjoyed the atmosphere, it made me get up and make a cup of tea and bake some shortbread cookies.

Easy fall read that feels like a warm hug! Definitely recommend reading it in autumn time! Was a unique story with characters I really enjoyed!

4.5⭐️

I fell into this super cozy witchy read. It’s Noah Kahan’s “you’re gonna go far” wrapped up in cinnamon and sugar and a warm blanket.

This book is an easy read, perfect for Fall and getting into the cozy vibes of reading by a fire with a cup of tea in hand. The three sisters make me wish I had sisters of my own. The story is essentially about choosing to love and be loved, letting yourself follow your own path while being terrified of disappointing family and loved ones. Knowing deep down that the bonds you created won’t break so easily and those who truly care for you simply want the best for you.

Didn’t think a house would ever make me want to cry over how sweet it is 😂

The house from a discovery of witches meets practical magic. A well written, semi cozy story about three sisters, navigating the changes in their lives. How will their bonds be tested by the secrets they keep? This book is a perfect pallet cleanser if you are looking for a lower stakes, slower paced story. If only the tearoom was a real place! I’d never want to leave.

I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski is a third person multi-POV cozy fantasy set in early 1900s Chicago. Anne, Beatrix, and Violet Quigley are three sisters and witches running a tearoom and telling fortunes in the human part of town. The Council of Witches wants the sisters to become their Diviners and tasks the Quigley’s with helping three other witches discover their Tasks (individual goals each witch must accomplish or risk becoming a ghost).

The prose is stunning and full of interiority. There’s a lot of references to pleasant smells and treats as well as beautiful allegories that had me making up my page every few chapters. I was expecting cozy and it definitely delivered there especially because we get the feelings of the building the sisters live and work in, but I was not expecting such deep interiority into the thoughts and feelings and desires of each sister. As a result, the pacing is on the slower end, but it’s still a relatively quick read.

Violet, Anne, and Beatrix have a curse that threatens to separate them. Violet finds herself attracted to a performer at a traveling circus named Emil, Beatrix has her dreams of being a published writer within her grasp, and Anne has been secretly experimenting more and more with her powers. Despite the three wanting to be a family and only having each other, their own dreams are just as important

Of the three, my favorite POV was Anne’s. Her’s was the most poetic and the one that felt the most fleshed out and distinct. Anne also has the strongest references to the senses, particularly taste and smell. Violet and Beatrix’s are also quite enjoyable, especially when we see Beatrix take a chance on publishing despite her initial hesitation.

I would recommend this to fans of cozy fantasies set in our world, readers of fantasy who like narratives focused on sisters, and those who love poetic prose.

This story follows three witches—Anne, Beatrix, and Violet—who have recently lost their parents. They run a tea shop called Crescent in Chicago, where they use their abilities to uncover the fates of their customers. As their business thrives and the sisters find happiness, the Witches' Council pays them an unexpected visit. The Council orders them to discover the ‘Task’—a crucial life achievement—for three other witches who failed to find theirs. If they don’t succeed, their beloved shop will be shut down. Meanwhile, the sisters learn of a curse that threatens to separate them. The Task is a vital goal every witch must accomplish before they die. Will the sisters manage to complete the Task for the three witches? And will they stay together or be torn apart by the curse?

I loved how each main character was crafted. This was my first venture into the fantasy genre, and I found it fascinating to read about witches and magic. I was completely invested in finding out whether the sisters would remain together or be separated. This book beautifully illustrates how fate can sometimes work in your favor. Overall, it was a cozy and delightful read!

This cozy mystery was exactly what I needed to get me into the fall spirit. I really enjoyed everything about it and I’m sure that other people will take some meaningful lessons away from it as well. Definitely will be recommending!

[thank you so much Atria Books for the ARC] I really wish I had better things to say about this story, but this is my first DNF in years. The sibling dynamic is not engaging, I hardly can believe they're sisters or family for that matter. Additionally, I had to stop when the Witch's Council gave them their "mission" - I understand the plot likely needs to develop further but there hasn't been a single plot device up until this moment that I feel like I can hang onto to finish.

The concept of the story is so fun and unique - I just wish there was more to it than that

The Crescent Moon Tearoom is a heartwarming and enchanting tale about the Quigley sisters—Anne, Violet, and Beatrix—who run a magical tearoom in Chicago. Each sister, endowed with her unique gifts, uses their abilities to read tea leaves and provide solace to their patrons, all while grappling with their personal desires and a looming family curse that threatens to tear them apart. As they navigate the pressures from the Council of Witches to help three dying witches fulfill their life tasks, the sisters must also confront their own evolving dreams and the possibility of being pulled in different directions, risking the bond that has kept them together.

The novel beautifully blends elements of magic, sisterhood, and self-discovery, set against a cozy, whimsical backdrop. The Quigley sisters' journey is not just about saving their beloved tearoom but also about finding their individual paths without losing each other. The sentient house they inhabit adds a delightful layer of charm, making the story an immersive experience filled with warmth and subtle magic. Despite some pacing issues, the book's cozy atmosphere and the endearing relationships between the sisters make it a perfect read for those who love cozy, witchy stories with a touch of nostalgia.
