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...

The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #3)

The Titan's Curse has very strong themes of intra-family violence, displacement, gaslighting and torture, for a start. But, somehow, it handles them in a way that produces a book I would hand to a 10-year-old with no hesitation. It's really good.

Zoe's arc is excellent and Bianca's has a lot of complexity that is handled really well. Thalia gets more of an active role in a way that I definitely approve of. I wanted more female voices at this point in the series (instead of just Annabeth with a little bit of Clarisse), and this one delivers.
