The Clockwork Dynasty by Daniel H. Wilson
If you were fascinated by the decaying, gas-filled Seattle and its airships and automatons in Boneshaker, you'll be captivated by the centuries-spanning clockwork automatons and the lushly described alternate history of The Clockwork Dynasty. The worldbuilding is immersive and will transport you into a secret steampunk society lurking beneath our own.
... dark, inventive post-apocalyptic settings?
Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve
