Second-world fantasy with a "modern" setting

[cupiscent]

Thanks so much, folks! These are all great additions. Can't believe I didn't think of Ketty Jay, Powder Mage--and, for that matter, Django Wexler's Thousand Names et al, definitely should go in there at least as a "modern enough?" query--and from what I've heard, Alloy of Law definitely sounds like it fits in there.

I grabbed Poppy War from the library so that's up next for me to read and I can make my own call. (After I finish We Rule The Night which is definitely also going on the list--alterni-Soviet World War lady pilots, yeehah.)

Thought of another one this morning: C.L Polk's Witchmark, that's analogous with a post WW 1 England, but it is very much another world.
