How many chapters are there? I have a metric crapton of work to do, but I might be able to manage a chapter or so a week (unless it's finals, in which case school trumps all other obligations). How in-depth of a critique do you want?
Be warned that "Journey of the Grey Eagle" is a long book, and it is not written to please the politically-correct hard-left establishment. There are over fifty chapters, with average length of one chapter being about sixteen pages. Given your real-world responsibilities, I would not expect you to have it all read soon enough to reach my goal of "pre-publishing advice." But all the same, I would like to have you read it, because you are someone special to me. And I promise that there will be at least a few horrible things happening to characters. So if you're prepared to give me an e-mail address, I will send you the novel piece by piece over time.
You are free to make any comments you like; I can always dismiss them if I choose. But what I specifically want is to know if the story is comprehensible to the reader.
In my own mind, I know who my characters are, what they want. what they fear, etc. But because I'm writing a complicated story, I realize that a reader might say, "What the heck is going on???"
