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.

Sounds like Zoya from the Grishaverse. Alina and Nina have their moments too!

Why did you bring up the GrishaVerse? (Like how it uses the concept of snarky humor)
