This is really grippin' my attention. Poor Link, havin' to stand to write on such a big desk. _; Anywho, awesome writin'.

Gotta say, I'm learnin' a lot about ships and sailin' thanks to this fun fanfic. Awesome job with gatherin' this information and descripin' the Sky Lines.

LOL! This Link is just like the one from Spirit Tracks. Yep, you've got him in character. Lovin' the whole flyin' ship theme, too.

Hi, posting on this chapter cause I already posted on the very last one.

I decided to re reread this again, and I've only slept two hours since starting. I forgot how well written this was. Dunno if you ever plan to continue writing the sequel but I'll be one of the first ones to review when you update. - TCR

*listens to the Treasure Planet soundtrack throughout the entire story*

[I’m writing this somewhat prematurely—just finished Chapter 18. Very good, so far.]

SECRET TUNNNELLLLLLLL!
lol. Fell out of my chair when I read that.

Line is a terrible choice of name in a Zelda fic. I literally got to the last line of this chapter before I realized that the name was Line not Link. I thought you had forgotten to change the speaker's name and had just put "Link" as both speakers.

This was... an astounding adventure. I really connected with your characters, and I especially loved your writing style. Throughout the whole story, I could totally envision the characters going through the motions; combat, the functions of the airships, everything! Really enjoyed this, and I'll be moving onto the sequel :)

When Leynne mentioned selling mask to children my first thought was:
"Ahhh... Nice weather...Isn't it? Masks...You have...a lot. You, too...Will you be... a mask salesman? Then I'll play with you. So...The masks...Give me some..."
My second thought :
"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
And now I have chills down my spine. Gosh darn Happy Mask Salesman.

For a 140 chapter story with such content, this deserves more reviews.

I discovered this and read through all of it in the past three days. If that doesn't prove "engaging" then I don't know how else to prove it.

Your works, I have noticed, are very much on the theatrical side, but not riddled with exaggerations or overly whimsical motions (where exaggerated cartoons come to mind). I find it best to envision it like a live action movie when reading. It certainly calls attention to "visuals" very well. Your style was enjoyable to read.

I will be following your new works that I find interest in, and I hope writing will continue to be one of your passions.

I'd just like to say what an absolute BLAST it's been to read this work of art! For a lack of better words from me, I just got hooked and I couldn't let go! Through and through, I never stopped once these past few days, reading it every single chance I got. (Spoilers for people that read reviews) If you could, I remember there was another Link in one of your chapters about the technoworks, the one with Dark Link I believe? If it's from a different story somewhere on the interwebs, do you mind referring it to me? Anyways I wish you the best of luck with the sequel and wish you luck in general! Good day!

I'd honestly love this to be a game, like the third game within their little universe of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

Well, five years later and I finally came back to finish this story, and I'm very glad that I did. Your writing truly is phenomenal, and this story was well worth every hour I spent reading it. Sky Lines read so naturally that it almost feels like it belongs as part of the series.

One thing I often find difficult expressing is my love for Spirit Tracks, but you've succeeded in capturing every aspect of what made it so great. The sense of a great, unlimited adventure, specifically one that I tend associate with the frontier; the excellent contrast between tongue-in-cheek and legitimate character development that so well manipulates the tension; the dare to innovate into areas that might at first seem restricting; the deeply-rooted feeling of working for something greater than oneself; and above all, the raw spirit. Much like Spirit Tracks, Sky Lines came to life in a way that went beyond the story being told.

I don't know if you intended to do this - I'm sure the answer is yes - but the setup for the fight against Cunimincus ran counter to what I perceive to be the prevalent trope of final confrontations. I think a lot of the time, final confrontations are meant to be the ultimate test of the Hero's will, what he has been striving for the entire story. The finale of Twilight Princess comes to mind here. But here, there's a solidarity between the Hero and the reader that I don't think can adequately be created in that mode of confrontation. Much like examples that I see in Spirit Tracks and Okami, the confrontation isn't really about about the outcome, it's about creating that solidarity between the characters, the Hero, and the reader. When the ultimate test is whether or not those willing can find the ability to stand, and whether or not they have the courage to do so, the outcome has already been decided.

The creativity alone to even develop something like Sky Lines is impressive. That you succeeded in bringing it from a concept to such a masterpiece is astounding.

On a more academic note, I was extremely impressed with your use of nautical terminology, which in many cases exceeded my own. I don't claim to know a lot, but through my studies in history I've picked up enough to confidently say that I have a more basic understanding than the average writer here. It was unexpectedly refreshing to read a story where the author very clearly did his research. Excellent work on all accounts.

I know you said in your profile that you write original material, but I'll say this anyway: if you haven't, I'd say you should seriously consider writing something from scratch and looking into getting it published. You certainly have the talent.

Sky Lines is far and away the best thing I've read here.

So, does Valley have a valley girl accent? I can't really tell, honestly.

What kind of accents are Cale and Luggard supposed to have?
