Sally is commissioned to work at Wenchworld, the Western Cultural Theme park in America. Or that is what all the fembots believe. When a car accident reveals something heinous going on with the male visitors of Wenchworld, Sally is dispatched undercover to get to the bottom of it. Who is behind the biggest switch in British intelligence? With a Texan accent and reactivated boob guns, Sally is on the case before she rides off into the sunset.

Wenchworld by Samantha Faulkner is book three in the I, Fembot Series. This story might make you change your mind on rather Artificial Intelligence is a blessing or a curse.

I experienced Wenchworld as an audiobook through Amazon’s Audible; narrated by Alison Campbell. The link to the audiobook versions is posted above. Alison Campbell is convincing and clear and did excellent impersonations in the Texan and British accents. This reading adds great personality to this story. I recommend experiencing the Wenchworld as an audiobook.

The setting of Wenchworld is a mingle of Great Britain, America’s old west and the future all combined in one, taking place in one location. The existence of high technology robots is the only clue of the futuristic element of the story. You aren’t assaulted with the gadgets and elements of the future with the fembots. In no certain terms you know we are in the future. The author did a great job showing that with the characters. With dirt roads and saloons, Wenchworld’s anti-AI biggest fear is set in the backdrop of the past. I like Sally’s human traits, such as the desire to drink and her enjoyment of sex. I forget the main character is one of the fembots until she reminds the reader of her faceplate.

Wenchworld is a light and enjoyable book. While you can dive into the many books in the series (check out the author's Goodreads page for the full list) you walk away from the book knowing you have experienced a well-written story, and in the case of the audiobook, it was well narrated. You don’t think much about the characters or the moral. You just enjoy the story enough to seek out the next book, just as I plan to do with the I, Fembot Series.

The ending of the story is predictable. The hero finds her way into the arms of the good looking “side-kick.” I appreciate the crisp ending of the story but after the way, the two characters meet I could imagine the very carnal ending. The hero also makes a ghastly mistake that was uncharacteristic to her position as an undercover fembot. The mistake opens the door for the conclusion of the story however it was unrealistic to how a seasoned undercover agent would behave; even one with a circuit board.

Wenchworld by Samantha Faulkner gets 3/5.

Happy Reading and Enjoy the Show

Quirky, fun and just a bit cheesy...I love it! It is a bit of a cross between Austin Powers, Lara Croft, and Indiana jones. Quick read that left me smiling!

I really enjoy listening to audio books while I'm driving or working; they make me feel as though I am accomplishing something. The Adventures of Fembot Sally, as an audio book, was interesting. The voice actress was perfect for the role of Fembot Sally and complemented the story. The drawbacks that I had with the story focus around, what I suspect, is a Fembot genre. I realized that gorgeous, breast-shooting robots dressed in lingerie really isn't my thing. For me, an entire story where the women are subservient to men becomes tiresome, especially when the Fembot theme supersedes the supposed plot line of world takeover.… (más)

A short story about a female robot and a stolen diamond. Interesting book about female robots who are made to be of service to men. the book was only about an hour and a half so it as short for an audiobook and doesn't go into great detail and background of characters but regardless it was still a pretty good listen. The narrator was pleasant to listen to and the story did hold my attention throughout.
I received this audiobook through LibraryThing giveaway for my honest review.
