By Pappa on July 21, 2013I absolutely fell in love with the world and the characters. They felt incredibly real in their development. Taylin is very resourceful in her ability to improvise during fights and her best weapon is her innocent heart. She developed into a caring warrior that was invested emotionally with the characters she cared for.Ru's experiences were detailed in a satisfying way. Porter gave the right information and wrote him in a way that you could hate him for what he's done and been through, yet love him for what he is striving to become in spite of what he is. There is a caring basis for all of his actions that have been gained through wisdom. Porter shows a tendency for Ru to continue to escalate in power in a worthwhile way.The magic is a combination of logic and philosophy that was unique and well-developed. I really enjoyed that aspect of the story. It many strengths and is definitely not your standard fantasy.While I've seen earlier comments regarding editing issues, I'm sure that much of this has been addressed, however there are a few issues still dangling in respect to edits. I would love to see what this book would become under the guidance of a strong editor.Overall this book is a win! I would absolutely hang out with these Taylin and Ru and be part of what they have created because I feel like I grow in both knowledge and heart.What Does Pappa Think?A Girl and Her Monster (Rune Breaker) by Landon Porter s 4 cookies
