Status Updates From Sommer in der Tempelgasse

- I was so engulfed in the story of The Moon Is on the Left that I forgot that I was actually reading another story and this was just a story within a story.
- The Moon Is on the Left was so much more interesting. I can see why Akari wanted to read it again.
- What is the relevance of The Moon Is on the Left? Does it connect to the story of Kimyo Temple or is it just filler content to pad out the book?

- “I didn’t think of that until she was right in front of me.” Ugh, Kazu there seems to be a lot of that lately. You just don’t think things through🤦🏻‍♀️
- This book feels veeeeery long even though it’s not. If we could cut out all of the nonsense maybe the plot could develop a little faster.
- As an idea it’s pretty good, but I just don’t see how it can develop into something more.

- Book 3 of the August MG Reading Challenge🎉
- I picked this up thinking it was a manga, so I was very surprised when it was a book.
- Akari is so a ghost, but there’s some mystery going on here that is intriguing.
- It’s a shame that some things get lost in translation like Kimyō temple has no meaning to me, but ‘come back’ ‘life’ temple is poignant and crucial for the story. But I do love the title.

I am interested to find out where this narrative leads.
