Cold Magic

This fantasy-heavy steampunk is set in a world where the industrial revolution is just getting started. Science and magic (like in many steampunk books) are competing for supremecy. One woman holds the key to either victory. Elliot really has the world-building gift, having done a superb job building a vast world in The Crown of Stars series and another series, Crossroads.
