Godblind by Anna Stephens (Godblind #1)

The Mireces worship the bloodthirsty Red Gods. Exiled from Rilpor a thousand years ago, and left to suffer a harsh life in the cold mountains, a new Mireces king now plots an invasion of Rilpor’s thriving cities and fertile earth. Dom Templeson is a Watcher, a civilian warrior guarding Rilpor’s border. He is also the most powerful seer in generations, plagued with visions and prophecies. His people are devoted followers of the god of light and life, but Dom harbors deep secrets, which threaten to be exposed when Rillirin, an escaped Mireces slave, stumbles broken and bleeding into his village. Meanwhile, more and more of Rilpor’s most powerful figures are turning to the dark rituals and bloody sacrifices of the Red Gods, including the prince, who plots to wrest the throne from his dying father in the heart of the kingdom. Can Rillirin, with her inside knowledge of the Red Gods and her shocking ties to the Mireces King, help Rilpor win the coming war? CONTRIBUTOR(S): Jean Ann Dougla...

Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich by Normal Ohler

‪Slowly alternating between vivid and dry, “Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich” by Norman Ohler describes how use and abuse of drugs inluding meth, cocaine, and morphine fueled the German war machine and made the Blitzkrieg possible. Well worth the read.‬

There’s a lot of mood whiplash, and an obligatory CW/TW for descriptions of drug use, side effects of addiction, and experimentation on soldiers, children, and concentration camp victims. The roughest sections are at the end so if you hit your limit go ahead and stop because it’s not going to calm down.
