Omschrijving
Set in a world of dark gods and dangerous magic, The Gutter Prayer is an epic tale of sorcerers and thieves, treachery and revenge, from a remarkable new voice in fantasy
A ground breaking and extraordinary novel . . . Hanrahan has an astonishing imagination
The Gutter Prayer is captivating and complex. Guerdon is a city that seethes with history, horror, and hidden secrets, and Hanrahan's assured style is reminiscent of China Mievelle in the best way possible
An absolutely stunning debut. Insanely inventive and deeply twisted. I loved it! Highly recommended
Utterly brilliant . . . Excellent, edgy, absorbing writing, an intelligently woven story that throws the unexpected at you with almost the turn of every page, I think Gareth Hanrahan is a total genius
The perfect marriage of grimdark and epic fantasy . . . an impressive debut . . . Boldly ambitious and innovative in equal measure, Hanrahan's daring entry into the genre is guaranteed to captivate and enthral
Employing an enviable skill with both plotting and prose, Gareth Hanrahan has in The Gutter Prayer woven an intricate and finely crafted web of compelling characters navigating a city rich in dark and original wonders. I await the sequel with the keenest anticipation.
Mind-blowingly stellar in every respect; full of seductive creativity, marvelously intelligent, innovative, and frankly revolutionary. This dark and enchanting debut contained no shortage of alluring madness and wondrous imagination that manifests itself gloriously within the pages. Fantasy readers, be wise and buy this book, because there's simply nothing like it . . . I envision that The Gutter Prayer will not only win many readers' hearts but also win multiple fantasy awards in the near future. Yes, it was THAT good. Read it. Thank me later
A gripping tale that meshes beautifully with its fascinating, darkly inventive setting
With living candles, ancient ghouls, broken gods and more, The Gutter Prayer brims with cool and often twisted ideas
Hanrahan's highly anticipated fantasy debut is a real breath of fresh air . . . The Gutter Prayer features a skilfully crafted world, with masterful drama, expert dialogue, brilliant characters and an ending I did not see coming . . . A book that every fantasy fan should read
I'm confident that I won't find a greater book this year . . . The Gutter Prayer is, undoubtedly, the debut of the year, and I won't be surprised to see it sweeping every award next year
Beautifully written. Gripping. Guerdon is the city of my dreams
The Gutter Prayer is already one of my favourite books from 2019. It's original, incredibly well-written, and honestly just so much fun to read . . . It's the battlecry of an exciting new author who I feel has the potential to hit the very top of the genre. Put simply, you need to read this
Hanrahan brings the sights, sounds, and smells of Guerdon to life with crisp, lyrical prose that moves swiftly between thrilling action sequences and imaginative worldbuilding
A mercurial masterpiece . . . The only thing greater than its ambitions as a debut is its accomplished performance and the awe-inspiring imagination that's gone into it, which surely marks Gareth Hanrahan as one to watch . . . astounding
This book has a fascinating setting, awesome and unique characters, and a really original and well executed idea . . . It kept me reading until well into the wee hours every night. I can't wait to see where this story goes in the future, but I imagine that it's going to be pretty spectacular!
I can't recommend this one highly enough . . . This was like falling for fantasy all over again
An absolutely phenomenal debut . . . This book will undoubtedly be one of the best fantasy books you will read in 2019 and heralds the start of something absurdly promising . . . a must read for all who love fantasy
Fans of Robert Jackson Bennett's Divine Cities trilogy will feel at home in this rich, twisty blend of noir, historical fantasy and eldritch dread . . . we can't wait to dive in to book two
Laced with the blackest of humour and packed with magic and mayhem, this is fantasy turned up to 11
Vengeful gods, alchemical weapons, odd but likable central characters, and vividly rendered battle scenes . . . wonderfully bizarre
A brilliant, imaginative debut. Absolutely worth the read and insanely, uniquely rich in every way
Gareth Hanrahan's three-month break from computer programming to concentrate on writing has now lasted fifteen years and counting. He's written more gaming books than he can readily recall, by virtue of the alchemical transmutation of tea and guilt into words. He lives in Ireland with his wife and three children.
