The Legend of Huma

Rating:
Summary: Richard A. Knaack's greatest story ever!
Review: Excellent! Spectacular! This book had everything from great characters, plot twists, and an ordinary person (though a knight when some say that he shouldn't be) saving the world from the forces of darkness. Unlike most stories of this nature, he didn't fully defeat the darkness, just banished from the world. A great one to read. I couldn't put it down!

Rating:
Summary: a REALLY cool book!
Review: This book is amazing. I know, I'm only eleven, but I love to read and this is one of my favorite books ever! If you love fantasy and adventure this is for you! This book is about an orphaned young knight who ends up saving the continent but dies while defeating an evil goddess.

Summary: where was the white stag?
Review: all in all it was an ok book. i could understand that the bards didn't mention kaz in their stories because he was an minotaur, but i couldn't understand why the part with the white stag and the forestmaster wasn't mentioned. in the "dragons of autumn twilight" the forestmaster says herself that she met huma. why would she lie? i think this book was an 3+ almost 4 star book. knaak is a much better writer than jean rabe

Summary: Great book to begin with for the series
Review: I gave this book a five for many reasons. 1.Very compelling and intriguing story 2. Many plot twists 3. Interesting charcters 4. Lots of depth 5. Keeps you VERY hooked

I recommend this book for anyone who likes a great fantasy epic.

I give this a book a teen rating for some strong violence in areas of the book.

Summary: QUALITY
Review: Even if you are a newcomer to the series this novel is quite outstanding in many ways. The author does a very intelligent job of describing the history of Huma.

Rating:
Summary: WOW! Amazing!
Review: Now, taste definitely has its say with this statement, but in my opinion, Knaak is a much better writer than Margaret Weiss or Tracy Hickman. I am currently reading Stormblade, the second in the Heroes series, as I was so inspired by The Legend of Huma. Knaak clearly deserves the position as the the author who wrote the legend of the greatest hero of Krynn. Of all the Dragonlance writers I have read the work of, Richard A. Knaak is my favorite. I anticipate the fourth book of this series, Kaz, the Minatour. It was also written by him.

Summary: This is only his first book?!
Review: How can Knaak write so good on his first novel? He smokes a story with a similar plot in one of the Tales books!

This is the book that got me hooked on Dragonlance. It's all about how the Solamnic Knight, Huma(Duh!). Not too much I can say about it without laying out a summary of the book.

Here are a few things I liked about it:

1)Includes politics, but only just barely. Mostly arguments about who gets to rule the Knighthood.

2)Includes dragons to help develop the story line. That's a must for me to rate it as a good book:).

3)Characters don't sit around for fifty pages at a time, talking like all the other characters are severly mentally retarded.

4)Magic takes a place alongside chivalry, honor, and fighting.

5)None of the main characters are stupid or racist.

6)Even though he wrote this book after right after he dropped trying to be a chemist, Knaak doesn't drag science into this book. Me, and probably every other pure fantasy fan who has read this book appreciates that.

If you only buy 7 or 8 Dragonlance books, make sure this book is one of them. I should know; I have just about every Dragonlance book ever written.

Summary: The Best Dragons Lance Book Outside of the Original Six!
Review: I am not Mr. Sci Fi or even Mr. Dragonslance. I loved the original Chronicles Series and the Sequal about the Twins. However I must be honest, most of the offshoots that I have read I have not liked at all. Again, its only been a few but most of the non-Weiss and Hickman stuff I have found to be fluff. However, the Legend of Huma is different. This is a fantastic book. The author has done a great job of writing about Huma and the events that take place before the Chronicles series. Knaack is a great writer, and this book tells a great story. Again, I am not an expert on DL, but I think I know a good book and this is one. Read the first 6 books and this one!

Summary: One of the best epics a person can read
Review: This book in my opinion is right up there with the chronicles trilogy. It has excellent character development, action, romance, and drama. This book has to be one of the most well written books in a long time.

Summary: This is the best book Ever!
Review: This is by far the best book ever written. It was the first DL book i have ever read. Since I read this book I have read over 70 other DL books. It is simply a masterpiece. For all those new to DL I recommend reading this book before the Chronicles Trilogy so you don't know the ending before you read the book. It would ruin it for you. Every time I read this book it makes me cry. The ending is just spectacular. I have never been effected so emotionally by a book like that before. This is a must read for all and any who read it I garantee they will find it one of the best books they have ever read. Please read this book.
