House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky
This is the sequel to City of Last Chances but could almost be a standalone since only one character transfers over, Yarric the last priest and follower of God. You should still read City of last Chances. House of Open Wounds is a different beast all together. Two armies are at war and the majority of the action takes place in the hospital tent that follows the army. Each character has there own way of helping the afflicted. Each character has their own secrets. The book is also sly and quite funny. And I really like the depictions of the Gods.
Yannic or Maric Jack as he is now called because of confusion about his name becomes an orderly in the tent all the while carrying his box of Gods on his back. He still fights with God all the time, either imploring God to heal the wounded or imploring God not to heal the wounded.
It's kind of a slow build as I struggle to figure out where the book was going until suddenly we were there and 600 pages had gone by. I hope there are more books in the series but this novel kind of wrapped things up for Maric Jack.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
