Currently reading A Master of Djinn by P. Djèlí Clark on and off. It's a sequel to a story called A Dead Djinn in Cairo (and others in the same universe) by the same author. The worldbuilding is pretty good. It transports you to this fantasy steampunk version of the world where Egyptian and Arabian culture is dominant (vs just Victorian, as is usually the case with steampunk).
