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.
For appendices with further details on the magic and characters, please download the supplementary PDF.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A fantastic tong in cheek fantasy frolic
I love the way Nick Podehl narrates the characters, he really brings them to life and helps make the comedy moments even better! (And there are a lot of comedy moments in this book)
This spinoff from the Arcane Ascension series is fantastic, I really enjoy how great the characters are and how the banter between them feels so natural. I also enjoy the way the whole thing is set as Caras telling some of his back story during a train ride, it really gives a good insight to him as a character when we have only seen glimpses of him during Arcane Ascension.

Read the others first.
I love this book, as I love all of them (though Arcane Ascension remains on top) but I really recommend reading all the others first despite the 'read in any order' in the discription. This book feels like it's more dialog than events and, though it might be important to the world building (the more I think about it the less I believe it to be true) quite a bit feels like its just repetitive filler.

Loved it!
In my opinion, Andrew Rowe is at his strongest when he’s writing a story around one character but including a wider support base into their story. I loved War of Broken Mirrors but it didn’t hit the same for me as Arcane Ascension, and I think that’s why.
In this book, we’re taken back to one of the most intriguing characters and I think Andrew did a wonderful job of explaining the past and bringing more depth to the story and it really shines through in this one.
This book has the same well paced story, great and at time funny dialogue and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to moving on to the second one next and getting the third one when it’s out on audible later this year.
As always, Nick did a fantastic job of narration and I couldn’t imagine it with a better suited narrator.

Fun, enjoyable, not his best work
I'm a big fan of Andrew Rowe, especially the Corrin Cadence books, but this book seemed to be lacking something the other books have. Perhaps it's the reduced threat because Kerris is so powerful, perhaps I'm just less of a fan of the writing style for this series.
Nick Podehl remains my favourite audiobook voice actor but I did notice him slipping out of character a couple of times, especially when the narrator starts sounding like his natural voice (sorry if you can't unhear that).
Overall, the quality isn't up to their normal standard but it is still fun and well worth it if you like Kerris or want to know more about the lore, history and connection between series.

Excellent narration and entertaining story
An entertaining story with really good narration and character voices by Nick Podehl. Having already listened to probably far too many audio books narrated by Stephen Fry whose readings/performances are always engaging, i was really pleasantly surprised by the quality of narration- almost to the point where I look up the narration artist rather than the author!- though the engaging characters and witty/thoughtful dialogue by Andrew Rowe I’m sure facilitated the performance. A very entertaining series so far (so much so to encourage my first review!) and look forward to continuing the story.
