 I really enjoy Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne's Pell books. They're humorous fantasy picking apart some of the common tropes of the genre with wacky pop culture references that just work.

A cursed princess who woke from an enchanted sleep with more facial hair than she laid down with, a dryad who wants to help people by becoming a lawyer, a centaur tea wizard coming to grips with his own abilities, and the least elf-y elf in Pell all join a pirate crew and have nautical adventures while fulfilling prophecy and pillaging a cheap meat empire.

It was a truly fun read.
