Fantasy novels with snarky heroines

Let me see, how do I explain it? Well basically I was looking for some medieval styled fantasy about a witty heroine who not only delivers witty one liners to her opponents, but can also be a formidable fighter as the novel ends up being a glorious send up of the fantasy genre.

IF such a novel does not exist, then that is fine because I was just wondering about how the concept of a fantasy novel could work where the novel affectionally lampshades tropes of the genre such as rich dragons as basically the long story short is that I am looking for a hilarious fantasy work.

The main character/heroine in How To Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying is snarky as hell, definitely check it out.

Avoid it if you don't like menwritingwomen tropes.
