Kingdom of Ash and Briars by Hannah West

Rating: WARTY!

"When 16-year-old kitchen maid Bristal learns she's a powerful, immortal sorcerer, she's drawn into an epic clash of good versus evil!" She's am immortal sorcerer and didn't know it? And this woman's name is 'Bristal'? Seriously? In Cockney rhyming slang, Bristols are breasts - from Bristol city - titty. Any novel with a title like this one is guaranteed to be exactyl like all other novels with titles like this. Avoid them like the plague because the authors haven't got an original idea in their brains - obviously, otherwise they'd be writing about that idea instead cloning the work of scores of other unimaginative authors who've gone before them.
