About this listen
With his acclaimed debut, The Gutter Prayer, Gareth Hanrahan introduced a world of sorcerers and thieves, broken gods and dangerous magic. Now, this epic tale continues in The Shadow Saint, the gripping second novel in the Black Iron Legacy.
As the Godswar draws ever closer and tensions within the city escalate, how long will the people of Guerdon be able to keep their enemies at bay?

i need more of these books!!
l loved The Gutter Prayer, but the author takes the grounding of that novel and expands on it wholesale. The possibilities of the next book are wide open and I for one will pre-order the damn thing asap. write, damn you, write!

Amazing! Enjoyed this more than the first one
The first book was brilliant and had me buying this one straight after.
This one is even better! …and one of the main characters i didn't like that much in the first book.
I’m also enjoyed the introduction of the spy character, and the expansion on the world building focussing on the gods and saints.
Now am eagerly awaiting the next one.

Another excellent installment from Hanrahan
A great continuation to the Black Iron Legacy series. Multiple threads skillfully woven. Beautiful story.

Incredible narration, superb sequel
Cannot recommend more. Praying to the kept gods that the superb narrator returns for the final book!

Wait, what?
I loved the first book but was unfortunately pretty disappointed with this one. The story becomes very hard to follow, very quickly. the gutter prayer was already on a pretty fast pace but this is ridiculous. it's to bad too cause I feel like I would have liked the story if it would just slow down a bit and let me get accustomed to the new aspects of this world that is introduced. not to mention having to keep track of the spy and his many identities.

Sluggish world-building hampers good story
I loved the Gutter Prayer and was eagerly wanting more of the same. What I got here was a story that for a third of the book seemed divorced from what had occurred previously.
Expanding the world of humanity and Gods would have appealed to me, but instead we get a political campaign and new characters and no real sense of how it all ties in with what has gone before.
Eventually the new storylines converge and things pick up. When we meet the old faces, you see real character development. But that good feeling can't quite erase the tedium of the previous chapters.
As with book 1, this ends in such a way that you don't need to continue, and despite there being a third and final book, this is where I will stop as well.
