Publisher's summary

It doesn’t take a legendary sword to make a legendary swordsman, but it certainly helps.

Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake.

But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

The Six Sacred Swords are Kaldwyn’s most famous artifacts, forged as the only means to defeat the god beasts. Each sword must be earned by a worthy champion, and no single person has ever managed to collect them all.

Not yet, at least. Keras is just getting started.

Six Sacred Swords is a lighthearted fantasy adventure inspired by Japanese game series like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Fire Emblem. It takes place in the same universe as the Arcane Ascension novels, but years earlier and with a different protagonist. While the books are interconnected, they can be listened to on their own in any order.

Awesome

Man, this author manages to tie everything together in such interesting ways! It’s well thought out, the characters are varied. The narrator is Nick Podehl so that’s great too. At this point I don’t think there is anything that Andrew will write that I won’t buy first and then read the description

Another good story from this world

The author and narrator did a fantastic job. Great story continuing with Keras in this continent and world. I can't wait for the next book.

most funny yet

loved the humor in this one. solid narrative and good meta structure to wrap things in. Felt more like arcane Ascension book 2.1 than it's own story at a few times, but in a good way. I look forward to seeing how things get to the place we are in when we first meet Keras in that series.

love the voice acting

One of the few times that a story has me wanting even more bantering between the characters. I really love their interactions. I can't wait for book 2.

Lighthearted Fantasy describes it

It took a few hours to become invested in the story because this was my first book in this adventure series. Then I was along for the ride. Nick Podehl did a fabulous job as the narrator.

Love the lore

Having not yet read Broken Mirrors, I've been really interested in Keras as a character and the lore there, so this book was all that and more.
Glad to see that there will probably be a continuation of this story, as well.

Smart, quippy and fast paced

A fun departure from the main story line, the world that Andrew Rowe is building,in the series, is getting more interesting in every book. I can wait for future sequeles in both series.

The only flaw I would mention is that I feel the main character is a Mary Sue. He is flawless, his decisions are always the right ones, he knows how to get out of every situation.I don't feel he has a relatiable issue he is dealing with, he's only issue is that he possesses to much power.
Nevertheless, this the case with a lot of main characters and I still find his choices very interesting that I am willing to forget that he is written like Superman.
