Rating:

- An excellent adventure novel
This is the first of the Dragonlance novels that I have read. I must say that I am rather impressed with this one. The world of Krynn is an amazing world with cool dragons and other awesome creatures. I think Richard Knaak did a very good job of telling the story through the characters, not just about them. Overall I gave it a rating of 4 stars simply because some of the twists, that were a main part of the story were a little to easy to figure out before being revealed through the course of the story. But still a very good story overall.

- a gd read
I remember reading this a long long time ago and intensely liking it in my youth. Recently dusted it off and read it again. surprisingly, I found out that I still loved it. At first I couldn't figure out why I liked it so much. there are certainly writers who offer more mature stories like jordan, tolkien and george rr martin.
But it is precisely the innocence and humility of the main character, huma, that draws you. If you are the type who goes for the cocky and battle-hardened hero, this book is not for you. Richard a Knaak manages to pull a rabbit out of a hat with this story. It could have easily ended up sounding childish and trite (like a david eddings book) but it doesn't. so put down that ps2 joystick for one afternoon and read this book.

- As good as Weis & Hickman works if, not better.
I've heard plenty of people give everyone besides W&H that writes DL novels bad reviews because they can't touch W&H quality. This is just not one of those books. The entire story is gripping, and is hard to put down! I flew through this book faster than almost all the other DL novels I've read. Knaak really brings the reader close to the characters. The way it is written really makes it seem like the legend as told among Krynn. A definite must read.

- Ok, I'm gonna be serious for once...
This is my favorite book ever. When Huma gave his life to defeat Tahakasis...I was actually sad. I was touched. Richard Knaak is an incredible writer. I enjoyed the way he continued the story of Kaz the Minotaur(The coolest minotaur of all time). It's strange how he wrote some of the best books ever in a series that was not his own(i.e. Margret Wies and Tracy Hickman). This is the fantasy book that all other fantasy books strive to be. This is so incredibly fantastic that I believe my words are not required for a description of it's greatness. Tolken could really learn a thing or two from Mr. Knaak.

- highly recommended for anybody!
Eager to get into the DL series I picked up this one because it was a best seller and I couldnt wait to order in the core's, and I did not regret it, Knaak does an amazing job in telling the story of the legendary Huma all the while captivating the reader with a fast paced plot and wondreful battle segments full of action, dragons etc that never dull and always propel the storys momentum further.

This is one of my favourite books, I was saddened when it was over as it is such an amazing book, if you only read one DL book make it this one!
