A man of ability and ambition, Tuirgeis Erlingrson has nurtured the desire to carve a place of leadership for himself on the Green Island, Eire, that he has raided multiple times. After the death of his wife in Nordweg, he takes his surviving son to Eire. Having connections with his adopted brother, Cowan, and Agnarr, his former countryman, Tuirgeis feels he has the support he needs to make his claims strong. Agnarr is torn. His promise to Aislinn to remain with her on Eire is still in force, and he resists Tuirgeis's requests to join the conquering forces from Nordweg. He desires above all things to maintain a safe home for his wife and children in Dal Fiatach. Charis encourages Cowan to do the same, though this makes for tense moments between them. After initial disastrous attempts to achieve his ambition, Tuirgeis comes to learn that there is more to claiming a kingship than merely overpowering the locals. Tuirgeis finds himself at odds with the very people he had hoped would reinfo

The familiar figures of Charis, Cowan, Agnarr, Aislinn and Tuirgeis are back for the final installment of the Eire's Viking Trilogy. Looking to emulate Agnarr's success in settling in Ireland, Tuirgeis wants to go one step further and fully conquer the Emerald Isle for his own. Of course, things never go smoothly, and with the Danes and other problems to deal with, is a happy ending in store for our friends, or will they fall foul of forces greater even than Charis' skills?As always, there is a superb continuation from the first two books in the series. As already mentioned in my previous review, I'd recommend any newcomers to the series read the first two books in this series before this one. The first half of the story is a little slower in pace than the previous books, but the pace definitely picked up greatly towards the end.
Layne wrapped up the story very well, tidying up the loose ends and leaving the reader feeling satisfied with the way things ended. The different perspective of Tuirgeis was a very interesting read, and the changes of perspective between all the key characters was well written, adding extra dimension to the tale.
This installment was full of poignant moments which really tugged at the heartstrings and left me feeling quite emotional at times. I won't spoil them, but it might be prudent to have a tissue or two to hand occasionally.
As I've said throughout this series, the history is superb. I adore this time period and I must really give credit to Layne for the wonderful way she has told this story, using the history to constantly enhance it. it has been a thoroughly enjoyable series, and one I will be recommending to anyone who enjoys a well told, developed piece of historical fiction. Congratulations on the completion of a fabulous series.

Eire Devil King Sandi Layne 9781612133768 Books Reviews
I have been anxiously awaiting this final chapter in Sandi Layne's Eire Series. I have to say, this was worth the wait. Tuirgeis wants Eire for his own. It surprises him to find there are many kings, but he wants to be the ONLY king. He certainly had plenty of ambition, and a strong sword arm. Ms. Layne did her research, and her descriptive words made me feel like I was there as fights were fought and land overtaken.
Charis remains a mystery. She was the main character in book one, Eire's Captive Moon. Just where did she come from? Is she fae? Does she have magic? Hard to tell. I do know that I'd want her on my side in a fight. She and her spear are deadly.
The second book in the series, Eire's Viking, was the romance. This one most definitely centers on the warrior aspect of Eire's Vikings. There are lots skirmishes, battles, and wars. This is the bloodiest of the three books and it read real. There are some tender moments and I'll admit to shedding a few tears as the series wound up. The epilogue was brilliant. When I finally make it to the Emerald Isle, I am going to search out some of these sites. I want to experience standing where this history was made that Ms. Layne brought to life with her words. I will be keeping an eye out for a pale haired healer when I'm there.
If you are looking for a read that makes history read real, this is the series for you.
FIVE STARS!
*Thank you, NetGalley and TWCS, for the opportunity to read this book.
This is the final installment in the trilogy and I have reveled in the stories of these characters. It's been fascinating, and enlightening, honestly, getting the perspective of the Viking invaders as well as seeing the blending of pagan and Christian beliefs of the Irish people as their island changes. Ms. Layne's attention to detail in the history, customs, language, and even the brutality of battle only heightened the experience. Add to that the complexity of the characters, Agnarr, Charis, Cowan, Aislinn, and Tuirgeis...
Ah, Tuirgeis...we met him in Eire's Captive Moon and he's appeared throughout the story. In Eire's Devil King, he is a more central character and I didn't find him as compelling as the others. Tuirgeis is a charismatic man--he has to be to inspire men to follow him. He showed his more compassionate side at times. But his behavior otherwise rather negated any connection I may have felt, and I found myself feeling animosity and mistrust towards him as Charis and Aislinn did. Unlike Agnarr, who was willing to assimilate into life in Ireland, Tuirgeis wanted to rule the Irish and impose his beliefs on them. That difference in his character made him less likable for me. Of course, he still evoked intense emotion, so maybe that was the point.
Despite my lack of empathy for Tuirgeis, Eire's Devil King did deliver what I've come to expect from Ms. Layne a well-crafted story, rich in detail and characters. I was moved by the characters' lives--their triumphs and trials. I feel like I not only read a fabulous story but I also received a history lesson. Both were greatly appreciated.
The timeline changes were somewhat confusing for me at times. I had to pay attention or I was lost. I did like the switching of POVs. It enhanced the feeling of really knowing the characters when I know the thoughts behind their actions.
I'm very pleased with how this trilogy wrapped up. It is an incredible, sweeping historical tale with danger, romance, and a wee bit of supernatural. It provided insight into they history of Ireland and I fell in love with Ireland a little more, as well as with a Viking.
