4.0

 On the whole, this was an enjoyable read with interesting characters and a fairly intriguing plot, that being of a tree that turns into a young woman, Finn, who after being found and taken in by Aed, an old hermit, decides after a few weeks she would like to be a tree again, so sets off to search for a way of achieving this aim.

Unfortunately, she crosses paths with other characters, which together with events that transpire, cause her plans to change, and this is where, for me, the plot gets a little muddled, as some of the things that happen seem a bit contrived at times, which ultimately spoilt my overall engagement with the story.
