It's not exactly what you're looking for, but The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud is excellent. Technically I think it's middle-grade but it's written for more advanced/YA readers and it's thoroughly enjoyable as an adult and is pretty dark. 20th-century England's ruling class is "magicians" who don't have any power themselves, but are able to summon various types of genie. It has three protagonists and the chapters are divided between them; a power-hungry boy magician (I promise it's different from Harry Potter, and he ages up), a girl who is immune to magic and leads a resistance against the magicians, and a djinn named Bartimaeus who narrates his chapters in first person and is fucking hilarious. Then there's a prequel that was written after the trilogy called The Ring of Solomon, probably best to read last (but it's up to you), that's set in ancient Jerusalem where the two protags are Bartimaeus and a female body guard for the Queen of Sheba. And Solomon is in it too. And there might be a flying carpet but it's been a while since I read it so I'm not sure.
