The Leviathan trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. It is an alternate WWI where one side (Clangers) have traditional Steampunk weapons and the other (Darwinists) have genetically modified animals as weapons. It is technically young adult fiction but it was a good read.

If you’re into audiobooks, this series is even better with Alan Cumming as narrator!

And thanks to CalMeacham’s typo of “steampink” - I’m reminded of Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate series (maybe more supernatural than steampunk, but guilty fun!)

For Steampunk Graphic Novel, you have to look at Phil Foglio’s Girl Genius.

N.B.: For some reason, Foglio insists on calling that “gaslamp fantasy” as opposed to “steampunk.”

I highly recommend The Emperor’s Edge by Lindsay Buroker. It is the first novel in the series and available for free. It’s a blend of steampunk and fantasy. The character and world building is top notch. Buroker is an absolutely fantastic independent author and I’ve come to be a huge fan.
