From that description of magic/tech, I suspect HoneyBadger would enjoy the Council Wars series by John Ringo. Ostensibly it's science fiction and the "elves" are gene mods, but in practice it's fantasy. You'd have to enjoy Ringo-style stories, though, which means a lot of military stuff and some moderately dark bits (Ringo had to do research on rape trauma before writing the first book, if that clues you in--unpleasant things do happen to the main characters even if the good guys always win eventually).
