- where was the white stag?
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

Rating:

- Great book to begin with for the series
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.

Rating:

- QUALITY
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:

- WOW! Amazing!
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.

Rating:

- This is only his first book?!
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.
