Metal Mage 12
The war with the Master is ramping up, but Mason and Aurora have been made Heads of the Order of Elementa, their troops are being dispatched to every corner of the realm, Mason has made a metal dragon that kicks ass, breathes fire, and flies, and, oh yeah, all his women are raring to give him bad ass heirs.
But when his tour across the land ends up conflicting with the Master’s plans, Mason finally stumbles upon the secret to defeating his nemesis.

Viciously overprotective deadly women are best women
This book ends up being more a slice-of-life episode of the series. We see almost none of our overarching enemy, and only a small amount of time spent with possessed minions. But we get LOTS of time with Mason and his women as they prepare for the big (presumably final) battle with the Master, which makes up for it. The final scene of the previous book ends with Deya's brother showing up, finding out that his sister is pregnant, and... ... at the opening of this book that has to get resolved quickly. Or at least, things are put on hold for a while, probably to be continued later. Good times. So in this book we get to enjoy Deya being pregnant, how that affects Deya and the other women. Hint: parental protective instincts kick in. Hard, fast, and with a a bloody vengeance. More good times. This book also explores the relationship with our favorite Tenumbrae mage, and some of the complications that relationship could be facing. (Oh, let's be honest: we know they WILL be facing sooner rather than later. There almost certainly will be mayhem and sharp objects involved.) The metal dragon gets finished! But with a slightly unintended outcome. Oops? Cayla gets a new weapon, and we finally get it confirmed that she is not "just a good shot". The other mage-women in Mason's immediate circle all flex their abilities and learn new tricks... much to the terror of those around them. It looks like we really are getting close to that final battle with the Master, which is both good and bad. Good to finish the story arc, but really BAD if that ends the series. Maybe this arc will finish but leave us with a new arc, because these are fun characters and I'm hoping they can continue for a while longer. Enough spoilers. Read the book and find out for yourself!
Here there be monsters...
What do assassination plots, steel runic murder dragons, cute girly murder dragon elves, kinky assault princesses, train rides, adoring crowds, snu snu cannibal mommys, baby fever, a human torch (well half anyway), accidental air magic remodeling, shadow temptress hitgirls, prankster micro dragons, Stan, ogre ale, an unflappable butler named Alfred, and an abusrdly hilarious, inappropriate and equally threatening elven brother-in-law have in common? Mason Flynt... Seriously. Best. Metal Mage. Ever.
Sexy Overprotective Warrior Women, Dragons and War!
Eric Vall has indicated that this series will be wrapping up soon, and with the ending to this book, we are in for an Epic and Bloody War! That being said, this series has been one of the best books series I've read by far and every instalment keeps getting better. We have a completed badass tuned Metal Dragon, 5 fantastic and crazy women who absolutely adore and love the MC and with their maternal Instincts kicking in, it just makes them more vicious and bloodthirsty. I am hyped for the next book, even if it means the series is one step closer to the end.
You'd never know that they were in a life or death struggle.
I don't know who is funnier in this book the girls, Dragir or the little metal man with the little metal dragon. I laughed my ass off with this installment. The sex, the fights and the humor have made this one of my all time favorite series. Just try it for yourself I dare you. Now spoilers from me just grab it, read it and laugh (at least crack a smirk) then review it..
Mason's War draws closer
If you've followed the series, you know what to expect here. The usual cast of characters are on full display, with Deya's brother Dragir back for more surly interactions. And while Mason and Aurora prepare the Order for the inevitable war, Nulena works behind the scenes to keep their little family safe. But all of this is preamble, because as the book enters its final act, it becomes clear that the conflict with the Master is about to enter its endgame. There's still more story to tell, but the Metal Mage series looks like it's on its way toward a very fulfilling conclusion. I can't wait for the next installment.
To war
Sounds like a big maybe the big battle is about to happen. Love the warlord hope she shows up again would love a battle of wills with Mason. Kinda annoying though with the spice merchant as we kept hearing about her and then boom Dragir. Dragir is kinda gunner in short bursts but feels more pricked in larger quantities. Still great book though
My favorite series
This is my favorite series from Mr. Vall (out of the 4 I read). They keep just getting better. Followed closely by (in order) Succubus Lord, Dragon Emperor, and Summoner. They are all pretty close and equally entertaining. It seems like he has the most fun writing this series and Succubus Lord. My opinion of course.
Forever a quest
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.
You can see the light
There series is just cover to cover awesome. But you can see it starting to come A close and that is a bit sad. I mean I would like to see how things are resolved And I the same time you wish it was just the closing of an arc and not the end of the series
Wow!!!
Reviews time.....the book as always was excellent. If you haven't read this series I don't know what you are waiting for? Also when you are done with this one I would HIGHLY recommend all of this author's other books! Keep up the excellent work and am excitedly looking for to the next one!
