I would like to nominate Byron to be the successor. Just putting that out there.

I sure hope the order has a good Canonist Head Interpreter of Precedent on hand to guide the monastery through this trying time, in case Julian should change his mind about whether he heard Manheim named as successor.

Yes, he'd be the CHIP Monk. :D

There is serious doubt in my mind that Manheim is going to allow Julian to live, let alone find the Blackpage.

The other brothers should not take Manheim's word for it. Hold a conclave!

I did read C 1…. And it does make one want to know what is next. I might move things around a bit…. But all in all a good start!

Manheim is such a well-drawn character with the weeping and the desperate obsession about succession! I’m excited to read this in the correct order! 😂

Whoa I feel like I started this in media res. The action started so quickly. Also, I hope you enjoy my binge-reading live comments. 👍🏻

Love it when a protagonist makes an early appearance. May Manheim lead the order with wisdom and grace!
