My favourite character was Aleena, who has a relatively small role but is fantastically written. Aleena is a Saint for the Kept Gods and imbued with all their power but she is rude, and inpatient and swears constantly. She is the most unlikely person to be considered saintly and is a great character, whilst this book could never be considered funny; Aleena brings a dry humour into dark situations as she swears and curses with the voice of Angels. In the acknowledgements, Hanrahan admits that Aleena was his favourite to write and that is clear, she is a fabulous character and I enjoyed all of her interactions in the book.
Overall, this is a great story. Despite my moments of pickiness, I thoroughly enjoyed ''The Gutter Prayer'', and I would recommend it for any fan of fantasy fiction. It is also the first in the Black Iron Legacy, which means there are more books to come, and I shall definitely read them when they are released. ''The Gutter Prayer'' is an exciting, thrilling adventure and lots of fun to read. For something a bit different, you could also try [[Blood Ties (Casting Castings Trilogy) by Pamela Freeman]].
