The world is the most interesting part of the work - it is described well, but never in a manner which feels like an infodump. The author describes the sky world just enough to make you curious, making the standard "hero's journey' trope interesting.
The characters are also well-done. Their relationship with each other is portrayed in a somewhat unrealistic manner, but never enough to put me off. I feel like it's a romance which could almost happen in reality.

So far this series has been a lot of fun. I am glad to see a new chapter when it becomes available and read it as soon as I can. You follow two protagonists on their journey to search out a lost civilization in a world of floating islands and skyships.
The story is rich and satisfying even if it is a typical "Hero on a quest" type of tale. The world building is great and unfolds quite organically.
