Our charming heroine gets an upgrade from Slave Girl to Barbarian’s Concubine, getting into trouble because she can’t keep them together for even a second.
Slave Girl, the start of an erotic series set in a time when Romans and Franks are big boys with bigger swords, does exactly what it set out to do. Nice.
Without any doubt, a most entertainingly bizarre acid trip of a gamebook that isn’t a gamebook I’ve ever come across.
