This book lives up to its name, because it's probably one of the most epic quests I've experienced. 860 pages of hardship that this poor protagonist had to go through, but it's so well-written that it never got boring. The worldbuilding is excellent and feels so real and alive, with some low- to medium-fantasy elements that if I had to, I'd describe as "Medieval Sense8 with animals". I especially love that animals play such a big role in these books, it's not something that I commonly see done well in novels.

Great trilogy, can highly recommend, and will definitely read all the other books in the Realm of the Elderlings.
