I'm a sucker for competency in main characters in books.  Continuing the 1800s theme, I just read "The Bright and Breaking Sea" by Chloe Neill.  It's Napoleonic coded and the MC is a woman sea captain with magic who is finding spies, doing heists, and taking no guff.  It's got intrigue, adventure, danger, and biscuits.  I'm very looking forward to the next one.
