Episode Details

Is Swords of the Six the start of a great new epic fantasy series?

In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim dives into Scott Appleton’s Swords of the Six — the opening novel in The Sword of the Dragon series. With dragons, battles, betrayal, sacrifice, and a powerful emotional core, this story delivers the kind of sweeping fantasy adventure many readers love.

But what really makes this book stand out is its deeper theme: how you win matters. Victory alone isn’t the goal — staying true to what is right is. That idea runs through the entire story and gives this epic tale a surprising emotional weight.

Jim shares a spoiler-lite overview, explores what makes this book compelling, and discusses why it might appeal especially to readers who enjoy fantasy with a strong moral foundation — without sacrificing the thrills of epic storytelling.

If you enjoy classic-feeling epic fantasy with dragons, great prose, and meaningful themes, this may be a series worth adding to your reading list.
