Janet Lee Carey: Dragonswood

I loved Dragon's Keep.  This book was good, but not my favorite.   It takes place two generations after Keep, and the Fey and Dragons'  safety are being jeopardized.  
There are elements of the Salem Witch Trials, Merlin, and Robin Hood (King John) woven in throughout this book.  The beginning is slow and slightly painful to get through, but the last 100 pages make the beginning and middle worthwhile.  I wish that the dragon/fey/human interaction would have been the focus rather than on Tess and witch hunters and the brooding Garth.  The ending is good, and leaves an opening for a sequel if Carey chooses.  Not sure if I would recommend this book though.
