Very good. I would quibble about details (like sticking with TLC's short
battlements), but the concept is excellent, and the execution is very
good.
The Great Hall is especially nice---things like the fireplace and the food
give ideas for what to do if you get the bricks to rebuild larger, but are
cleanly executed while keeping piece count/set price down to managable
levels.
One thing I wondered about. . .what forms the connection? All I see is
one pin about five studs in the air. Is there another at ground level?
Although two is much better than TLC's floppy one-pin connection, I wonder
what would be optimal. With 1--3 stud wide walls you obviously don't have
a lot of room to manuever. Would using a brick with two pins

at top or bottom, with one pin at the other location, aid solidness?
Friction pegs, rather than pins, would probably help a lot. . .
