Lovely!

It was great to watch this sequence grow and now it is very good to see it as a whole, in the intended order!

As a reader, you really feel you are with him on the journeys.

I love all the descriptions of the land in this!  So much a character in and of itself!

I really felt the dismay at finding Turgon (and everyone) gone from Nevrast, the question of what happened, the need to know it had not been a violent end but still not knowing what the reason.  Having him be a lover of puzzles is a delightful headcanon!

"Still a defensive and defensible outpost, but also clearly a place of welcome, of hospitality, of peace."

Caranthir's hold being open and welcoming is such a refreshing change (even from how I tend to write him! LOL)  It is too easy to make him angry or anti-social, but I love the idea of him specifically offering the invitation for a visit!

"The far side of the lake met a sheer face of interesting rock, and he was delighted to find that what had looked like reflections or shadows on the pale stone were plants, tenacious bushes and small trees that had taken advantage of cracks between the stones to set their roots, and there they flourished, defiant of the challenging conditions, green and fragrant."

This beautiful description reminds me of Caranthir himself!

This whole thing was fantastic!

....the Instadrabbles are even better than when I read them before. Beautiful images and the worldbuilding (literally) details are wonderful.
