The Tales of Pell series is a trilogy of funny, satirical fantasy books written together by Kevin Hearne and Delilah S. Dawson. The books poke fun at classic fairy tales and high fantasy tropes. Book 1: Kill the Farm Boy. Book 2: No country for old gnomes. Book 3: The Princess Beard.
If you'd like exquisite prose, check out Rikki Ducornet's books, all pretty short too and they're in the Kobo Plus catalog if you use Kobo, Kindle's mightiest competitor. Her tetralogy is I think where to go which starts off with The Stain.
