The Legend of Huma

Rating:
Summary: Well...
Review: This book wasn't TOO bad. The writing was alright, although I could see the silver dragon part coming a mile away. There were just too many coinscidence for its own good, I think. Im a big dragonlance fan and I'll read any Dragonlance book,but overall, I think Tracy Hickman and Margeret Weis do a better job. (after all, they're the ones who started the whole thing!).@

Summary: This is a thrilling, fast paced story.
Review: I have read the legened Of Huma at least 15 times, so I obviosly had a good reason to keep coming back. This story starts form the get go and keeps getting better. It tells a compelling story of Huma, Knight of Solamnia. Huma meets a new friend in the begining, Kas the Minotaur, under unlikley circmustances. Together they travel with Huma's astranged childhood best-friend Magius, a powerful renagade magi, to find the legendary Dragonlances

Summary: Best Non Hickman Or Weiss Dragonlance Novel
Review: This is a great book. I strongly reccomend reading it if you like more action, there is always something going on instead of stuff that has no point. This sort of leads into a later novel titled Kaz, The Minotaur which is also a excellent book.

Summary: My first experience of the saga and one of my most favorite.
Review: He saw a charging stallion, armored in purest platinum and snorting fire as it raced the winds. He saw the rider then, a knight bold and ready, the great lance poised to strike. The knight also clad in platinum, and the crest on his helmet has that of a majestic dragon. On his chest he wore a breastplate with the symbol of the Triumvirate: the Crown, the Sword, and the Rose. Within the visor that covered the face was light, brilliant and life-giving, and Huma knew that here was Paladine. The great charger suddenly leaped into the air, and massive wings sprouted from its sides. Its head elongated, and its neck twisted and grew, but it lost none of its majesty or beauty. From a platinum-clad steed it became a platium dragon, and together knight and companion drove the darkness beore them with the aid of the lance ... the Dragonlance. It shown with a life, a purpose of its own, and the darkness fell before it. Born of the world and heavens, it was the true power, the true good. The darkness destroyed, the dragon landed before Huma, who could only fall to his knees. The knight released the Dragonlance from its harness and held it toward the mortal figure below him. With some hesitation, Huma slowly rose and stepped forward. He reached out and took the lance by its shaft. Then the dragon and its rider were gone, leaving Huma alone with the wonderous gift. He held it high and cried out in joy.page 246

Summary: My favorite book ever, only . . .
Review: It can't be five stars for several reasons. The writing is quick, but somehow unnatural, especially at the start. Once Knaak gets into it, though, so do you. The story is absolutely awesome, though if you don't see the Silver Dragon twist coming . . . A little too many cliches . . . and many inaccuracies. The back of the novel itself says Huma went to the High Clerist Tower, but it never happened. The White Stag scene never happened, even though Knaak had a perfect oppurtunity when Huma was starving and following the river. However, you should look past any inaccuracies. The novel has the best sense of mood that I have ever read. The feel of mystery and destiny is unbelievable. It would make an awesome movie. This, more than any other DL novel, has the feel of fantasy and that anything could happen. Also, its sense of time and history adds immensely to the novel (if only Knaak left out Wyrmfather!). Read it, love it, read it again. There are many mistakes, but only a DL lover will care. Man!, I love the feel this novel has! The story itself does deserve 5 stars. Somebody turn this puppy into a movie!

Summary: AWESOME THE BEST DRAGON LANCE SINGLE EVER
Review: This book only falls short of the Dragonlance Legends Trilogy. It is the best single book in the Dragonlance world

Summary: one of the best books I've ever read
Review: This is without a doubt one of the best books I've ever read. I think I'veread it atleast a dozen times, each time picking up on something I missed before.As for all you other people out there whining about how most of every thing that happened in the book was wrong, did you ever stop to think about history has a way of glorifing certain parts, and completly overlooking others? If your thinking of buy this book for your self , or as a gift for some one else buy it trust me its worth it

Summary: A Real Letdown To the Knights of Solamnia
Review: When I first picked up this book, I was excited. Here was the legend of Huma! But as I got into it, it just wasn't like all the other Dragonlance books I'd read. At least the others were believeable, but this? I just thought that it was very poorly written, the author left out some pretty important stuff, it was totally unrealistic even for fantasy, and they used the word "Huma" way too many times. Don't read it. You'll regret spending your money on it.

Summary: This Book Is the Greatest.
Review: I Loved this book. It's the first Dragonlnace novel I read. I Couldn't put it down. Then I hear about Huma in Dragonlance novels and I know who they are talking about.

Summary: One of the BEST DL books!
Review: For all beginner readers, this is a MUST! It is the first book I have read of the Dragonlance Saga, and I have been hooked ever since. It shows of the hero and Legend, Huma (hence the title). I have read it many times and every time I find new things that I missed before. I own every single DL book except for the Villains novels. This is the true story of Huma. And as they relate to him in other stories, it is just like a old tale passed thru the years, becomes hazy and different. But this book is very good!.....as to that other review..they did not mention Kaz in the other books, cause the knights value themselves as humans. And they do not trust magic, that is why no mention to Magnius.
