Review of The Terrible Shame of a Tree by sircarolyn

This review contains spoilers
A good story, and I loved the reveals about Derek the tree and his whole history, but I didn't love Benny kidnapping him despite his vehement protests. It seemed a little too callous of her to just do whatever she wanted with a character who has no ability to control his ability to move on his own. It is fitting with her character that she wanted to explore, but I'm not sure about the kidnap.
I also didn't the logger woman having regional accent. When will we stop associating regional accents with the bad guys... It's such a lazy shorthand and Big Finish stories often fall for it.
But overall, a very good story. I liked it, and thought it was fun except those items were annoying enough to me to stop me rating it higher.
