Packed full of fantasy cliches and beginner mistakes. Don't judge Knaak on this corny first novel he gets much better. That being said while it is quite bad it's still a quick enjoyable read if you can ignore a couple of things. ( )

This is the first book! This is the one that got me started back in 3rd grade. ( )

I read this book in fourth grade, and have reread it several times in the years since then and it has remained one of my absolute favorites. ( )

A really good read. The Dragonlance series
And world has been a favourite of mine for ages and the Legend of Huma provides an insight into the past often mentioned in other books.
Huma is a true embodiment of the Knight spirit and his valour and strength - right and goodness - wins through.
Onwards to the next in the series. ( )

Huma is a knight of legend among all the races of Krynn. He came from humble beginnings, fought through great challenges, and finally faced the dark goddess herself and prevailed...in a way. This is finally the telling of his story, the true story, without all the gloss and shine the ages have placed on it over the years.

Huma is a knight of Solamnia...an order dedicated to honor, truth, and loyalty. Known throughout the world for following their strict code. As the Queen of Darkness herself begins a war to conquer to world, nothing seems to be able to stop her. The knights fight valiantly to hold her back, but are losing ground little by little. As what must be the final battle approaches all seems lost. But Paladine, the god of good has a little something up his sleeve, but only if Huma can pass the tests put before him to test not only his mind and body, but his soul. And he must be willing to give up much to save the world.

I love this entire series, and this story has long been one of my favorites. It can be read independently of the rest since it is more of a history than a continuation of the world. The story is face paced and full of surprises, even to someone who has read it before. There is love, betrayal, respect won, and strange friends made. It is full of dragons, magic, knights, and the ever present battle of good vs evil.

5/5 ( )
