The Crown of Dalemark
by Diana Wynne Jones
Enjoyed the journey. Our POV characters all resist the call to adventure; accept it, meet all matter of threshold guardians, are helped or hindered by the not-gods that populate this world, and meet the (metaphorical) father who gives one a crown. On the way there are rings and crowns and swords that are got by not-entirely heroic means. Also, time travel, a bomb, and inchoate trains.
But the conclusion was a wee bit flat and I'm a little grumpy that the crowned head was in fact to the manor born.
