Metal Mage 6 (Metal Mage (Completed Series)) Kindle Edition

I love the series and the narrator, that being said, I am hot a huge fan of the endings. I know the necessity for indie authors to churn out as much quality material as quickly as possible, It is almost literally the only way to make a living in modern publishing. I am also dedicated to audiobooks and the delay between the release is frustrating, again I know the reason and impressed that the end product has not suffered, the indie narrators have been a pleasant surprise with every performance they grow and improve.Know for the novel. I was drawn to it by the magic system and the way it was used, the original storyline was solid and the world, while not unique, was built with growth in mind and has become a bigger part of the overall storyline. The only thing I find irritating is the amount of focus and time spent on the harem aspect and sex scenes, granted this author has made that aspect a realistic part of the story, but sometimes less is better. Again I know why it is necessary, especially at the beginning of a series or career, sex sells and always will, but this is not the medium of choice, at least not for me. Over the course of this series and others I have been following, it has become less of a focus and less graphic, which allows a bit more of the humor and magic that drew me to the series in the 1st place. Since this is a late review, I will say that I have continued the series and two others by this author and 1 is the 1st scifi novel I have listened to in a few years and believe it to be his best series starter and overall some of his best work. The only reason I mention this at all, is my belief that the author has become more confident with his craft and I believe he will continue to grow as an author.Starting off with harem books with overdone unrealistic graphic sex scenes has become a genre of it's own, that both male and female authors use as a draw, since the target audience is huge, but knowing when to branch out is a rough choice and a great risk, so when I see it done well, it is usually going to be a fun ride.This review is simply imho and yes I know it is far to long to be off real use on this site, but when asked for my honest opinion I do my best to take it seriously. So I will try to some it up in the 1 line title, which will be contradictory to the review itself...

This is perhaps my most favorite book in the series so far. The author is very creative and the story line takes some surprising twists in several places. The author leaves you hanging in the middle for a while as you wonder what's going to happen to his new beautiful elf through several chapters. A fourth girl is added to the hero's harem in this book and it is done well and gradual, although you feel it coming. The intimate scenes are done well, although it's still R rated.I have two cons. First, the author spends a LOT of pages discussing the hero's build of a new Earth based device in painstaking detail. The detail is well researched if you're interested in the details, but it detracted from the story for me. However, you're able to speed through it if you wish. Second, the story line editing could be improved in a number of places where the author skips over a detail here of there. You're able to figure it out though. I would rate this book 4 1/2 stars if I could, but again, best book in the series.

Overall, it was a good read. Everyone has commented on the car build, so all I'll say about that is yes, it was way too much information.I really like Deya, she seems to be a really sweet person, and I hope she gets a lot more development in the next book. Princess Sure Shot is still my favorite character, but Deya has the potential to replace her, if she grows more in the next few books.The MC is really developing a whiney disposition, which honestly, it's more the Audible books than the ebooks, but there are times in all of them where I just want to scream at him for acting like an 'I know better about crap I know nothing about and have zero experience with than people who've trained and lived it all their lives' person. It's really annoying, which is why I focus more on the secondary characters and not the MC most of the time.But, again, overall it's a good book, it does have a few dead zone If you're not a gearhead though. If you are a gearhead, then you're probably going to be in heaven... Would still recommend to read.

I like this series but this book..............why in the world did you go into so much detail about building the cars frame and power train, and transmission. I skipped whole chapters to get past all of that stuff.

Okay. Everyone talks about the car. I dream about building cars, so almost every detail made sense to me, and it was too much for me! This from some one who was mentally disagreeing with some of his suspension choices . . Really, the problem is comparison. Just say something like "instead of a simple coil over suspension (a spring over a shock absorber/damper) and a shock absorber with an oil reservoir, I put springs inside the shock absorber instead of oil". Too many words for certain things! I liked the fact that Deya made him wait, and that she not the violent type. To me it makes no sense to have an aggressive and violent healer. The best part of this book is that it's obviously going somewhere interesting. I'm hoping we get to 100 reviews soon, so that the author will start on book 7 . .

So, I really enjoyed the series and the finale of Metal Mage. Only wish that it could have continued on longer. So, in honor of the author's note at the end of MM 15, I'm doing my part to try and get each book of MM to 1000 reviews so that Eric Vall does a sequel of the MM series and continue the family happiness.

with the pace of the story ramping up. the books just keep getting better. one more 5 star for Erik Vall. If you like a book that drags you into the lives of the characters you cant go wrong with this series.

Definitely an interesting addition to the series and certainly definitely enjoy the sections on building, honestly very interesting to read as Mason does it.

Amazing story, cant wait for the next book. Just hope it keeps up the incredible story(I know it will)Some delightful twists hereOne word Bobbie!!

Keeps on delivering. One or two plot holes (excess metal when meant to be in short supply), but delivers on fun, 'hack and slash' & general escapism...

Great book
