The Scepter by J. Bree

4.0

omfg this novella was a so good!!
for who doesn’t know, this book is a prequel novella to the new series of J. Bree: the mortal fates series.

this book follows the pov of our protagonist Rooke, a witch, who loses her entire family, except her brother, in a fire. this fire kills not only her whole family, but also the entire line of ravenswyrd’s witches. after such a disaster, Rooke needs to know what her destiny will be as a witch, so she’ll go to the Seer to find out. will it be the fate she was expecting?

holy sh*t this beginning of the series was very well done. J. Bree managed to explain the details very well and still kept me interested in the whole book at the same time.
I wish I could tell more about the book but it would probably have spoilers, so if you want to know more (I promise you is super interesting), you have to read it to find out.

I really liked it and can’t wait to read the 2nd novella and for her to drop the 1st book of the series: the crown of oaths and curses!!
