Publisher's Summary
In the ancient city of Guerdon, three thieves - an orphan, a ghoul and a cursed man - are accused of a crime they didn't commit. Their quest for revenge exposes a perilous conspiracy, the seeds of which were sown long before they were born.
A centuries-old magical war is on the verge of reigniting, and in the tunnels deep below the city, a malevolent power stirs. Only by standing together can the three friends prevent a conflict that would bring total devastation to their city - and the world beyond.
Set in a world of dark gods and dangerous magic, The Gutter Prayer is thrilling and visceral debut fantasy from an exciting new talent.

Great characters and world

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read it
⭐ Don't bother
Story: Average
Characters: Great
World: Great
Keep it short:
I really enjoyed this early on. I thought the main characters and the world were great, and some action scenes kept up the tension leaving me wondering what next. In spite of this though I still dropped off the story and it took me longer to finish than I would have liked. This is still a book I would recommend to read, it deserves to be on your 2019 tbr pile as I do believe it has the potential to build into something good.
For the audiophiles:
John Banks does a solid job. You can tell he has experience, the characters aren't over or under done and the pacing is good. No problems here.
For the cover art judges:
I like this cover, it's artistic style lends to the setting and the blue tones accentuate the mood. Although I will admit while listening I did imagine all the scenes to have blue hues.
