“I enjoyed this once the story started. The introduction at the beginning was a bit long and somewhat unnecessary in my opinion. Once the story started, I found it interesting and wanting to know how it ended. The formatting of the book could be updated, removing the footnotes in the text to an appendix would help the flow of the story, especially since some of them are multiple pages long. Not a sit at the edge of your seat page-turner, but The Monastery is worth the time. I look forward to reading the second book in the series - The Abbot.”
