- One word.....Amazing
The Legend of Huma, by Richard Knaak is one of the best dragonlance books that has ever graced the pages of a Dragonlance novel. This book is filled with so much action and emotion that it is almost too much to handle. What i like about this book, is that Huma is not portrayed as a godlike character, he is just an average knight that wants to stop the hideous army of the Darkqueen as they demolish everything in their path.

Huma has a strong sense in faith and power as he builds his character throughout this story. Richard does a good job in portraying Huma's growth throughout the book. Not only does he have to face what seems like a never ending stream of enemies, he must also face his love for a mysterious woman, who is more than she seems. This book does an amazing job in painting in vivid detail the battles that the knights must go through, and the enemies they must face.

But anyone who has read the Dragonlance chronicles, or any other book that has to do with the knighthood, know that Huma's battles were more than just with the minions of Takhisis. He must also face the racism that the people are building towards the knights, he must help his friends, who are outcasts from the begining. Huma has a strong sense of loyalty towards Magius and Kaz in this book. He is strong of heart, and even though Magius has changed from the man he knew growing up, he is still willing to go along with his childhood friend, searching for anything that can end the war.

Kaz is also a character that is built well in this book. His interactions with Huma do a lot to build his character. Huma and him build a friendship that no one would have thought could be done between a Knight of the Crown, and a minotaur. But together, the face dangers worthy of godlike proportions.

All in all, Richard did a very good job in the story of Huma. The characters were built well, and the story was more than interesting enough to hold you the entire way through. It is emotional though, as all wars are, but this one takes the cake. Many people and dragons die in this book. But the most heartfelt story in this book, which Richard portrays very well, is what Huma and Gweneth must go through in order to save the world, forsaking their love for the good of the world.

If you are a fan of Dragonlance, this book is a must. Richard Knaak is one of the better Dragonlance writers out there, and this books puts another star to his name. Legend of Huma is action packed and emotional, a definate must.

- A "Timeless" Classic!!!!!
When i first read "The Legend of Huma" i was about 13. At that point in time i loved the book, i read it about 3 times before it dissapeared. Now i am 20 and found it in a pile of junk in my garage i have read it 2 times in the past month and it is still absolutely entertaining. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK!!!! When i was younger i didn't have any good influences in my life; i took the beleifs of Huma and made them my own when i was 13. I still live by the same code. It may sound cheesy but this book shaped me to be the man i am today. And i have never met anyone my age that is as successfull in buisness, love and just general life.
THIS IS THE ONLY FANTASY NOVEL I HAVE READ AND IT CHANGED EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Almost a disgrace...
I feel that this book was not up to true Dragonlance standard. The author obviously didn't have time to even leaf through the Chronicles to find references to Huma. There are a large number of holes in it, leaving out stuff that was sorely needed to make this book even an interesting read. Huma and Magius are both hugely disappointing characters. I found it almost laughable that the so-called 'greatest war wizard' couldn't even pass the Test. In my opinion, Richard A. Knaak's book didn't rate highly when compared with some much better Dragonlance books by Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, Douglas Niles, Jeff Crook, Mary Kirchoff etc. etc. etc.
I would not recommend not bothering with this book, and proceeding straight onto Kaz the Minotaur, which I didn't yawn ALL the way through.
