The Iron Dragon's Daughter - Michael Swanwick

When a young girl decides to get out of a bad situation (and the same for a dragon) the getting out part works, bad situations are still plentiful.

The book follows her as she grows up, goes to school, and communicates with said mechanical beast throughout this goddess run alchemical sex magic setting. With a bit of necromancy.
