I think by "disturbing" you mean the transformation Tallis goes through once she "really" encounters with Mythago Wood an its creatures, becomimg the tree-woman and all that?
I guess that depends on your age- I was about ten years older than you when I first read it and found it absolutely fascinating and somehow like... some strange kind of "coming home" with all that shamanic stuff, the masks, the "bird spirit land"-thing... But I'm quite interested in all things shamanic and/or neolithic anyway.
But I guess I understand what you mean and as far as I remember, "Mythago Wood" isn't as disturbing as "Lavondyss" (this one's the sequel, by the way). It's strange as well- these books are some of the strangest pieces of fantasy literature I've read- but more "harmless".
...and now that I've read this secret I have the urge to read them again. Thanks, OP.
