Leviathan (The Leviathan Trilogy #1) by Scott Westerfeld is $2 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)
This is aimed at children, so might not be fulfilling to adults, but it has amazing illustrations. (Political-cartoon-style map of Europe with nations as animals, but they're of this steampunk animals-as-weapons world)

The first novel in a masterful trilogy about World War I with a steampunk twist by #1 New York Times bestselling author Scott Westerfeld.

It is the cusp of World War I. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ genetically fabricated animals as their weaponry. Their Leviathan is a whale airship, and the most masterful beast in the British fleet.

Aleksandar Ferdinand, a Clanker, and Deryn Sharp, a Darwinist, are on opposite sides of the war. But their paths cross in the most unexpected way, taking them both aboard the Leviathan on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure…one that will change both their lives forever.

From his rookie days to his selfless feats of heroism, the dauntless Vlad will hold readers spellbound—and The Book of Jhereg will take its place among the classic compilations in fantasy.

Turning Darkness into Light by Marie Brennan is $3 in the US (Kobo, Amazon)

Marie Brennan's Turning Darkness Into Light is a delightful fantasy of manners, the heir to the award-winning Natural History of Dragons series, a perfect stepping stone into an alternate Victorianesque fantasy landscape.

This is a sequel to the Lady Trent series of books. That series has some revelations that I assume are spoiled here.
