The Last of the High Kings by Kate Thompson

I haven't read the first book and it took me a bit to figure out what was going on, plus a little research just so I know what to expect as a teacher.  I liked the story.  It's infused with Irish culture in a subtle kind of way.  Besides,  my father use to make violins and play the violin so it brought back some nice memories.  It's a good story.  Not traditional American kind of a story but a story that would fit in any library anywhere in the world.  I liked it a lot but there will be those students who may not have the same affinity of this kind of storyline.  I would still have it in my library. Knowing global legends helps make this world a bit more closer.  Enjoy, it's a good read.
