I liked this book far too much. I can’t believe a story about a (nice) slave owner could have been so much fun. Of course he treats his slaves better than any of us in the corporate world are treated and I feel like ownership is a mere formality, but still, staying up past midnight..
“Challenge” is the first book in the “Unbound Deathlord” series. The book is authored by Edward Castle and the audiobook’s narration is expertly performed by, as usual, Jeff Hays.

Really enjoyed this book. Obviously comparable to many LitRPG books I’ve listened to, but a tiny bit of ReadyPlayerOne type offerings in ther, with video game pieces and objects from real life in the RPG world. Excellent naration. Jeff Hays is always fantastic. Solid storyline. Definitely want more from this series!!! I received a copy..

When he accidentally purchases some slaves, he learns that owning them boosting his own power. From there he tries to balance ethics against his building power…
I was always guessing what was going to happen next but was always surprised, this was a great book
