Whore

by Emma L. Fenton

When Anne Boleyn is thrown into the world of the court, her aim is to survive with her reputation in tact. But when the eye of first a nobleman, and then King Henry himself falls upon her, her beauty will only get her so far. If Anne wants to succeed in the vicious game of court politics, she must use all of her wit and cunning, and she cannot risk falling in love with a man she cannot predict.

Unfortunately, this book apparently lacked a proper editor - the grammatical and punctuation errors abounded. There are many historical fiction books focusing on the Tudor period, especially on Anne Boleyn's short reign as Queen, and heaven knows I've read my share. When compared to books I've read with similar content, sadly this one just doesn't hold its own. Am I expecting too much from a historical fiction novel that's only 260 pages long? Maybe, but with so much great content out there, if you aren't looking for fluff, you're usually disappointed when you find it.

Attention grabbing title and cringe-worthy cover aside, it's surprisingly readable. There are a lot of places where an editor really was needed, but it reads like a relatively clean first draft. Far from the feisty heroine we all know and love, Anne in 'Whore' reads rather more like an abused girlfriend, forced into an impossible situation with no way out. She's a sympathetic character, while the clear villains are a 'rabid' Henry VIII and a power-hungry Cromwell.
There's not a great deal that's especially new here, but it's good fun all the same.

Wasn’t to my liking. Felt like it was missing so much more descriptions. So much potential. Didn’t draw me in.
