Story
After the War of the Gods, the demons were cast out and fell to the world. Mankind was nearly eradicated by the seemingly unstoppable beasts, until the gods sent the great hero, Ramrowan, to save them. He united the tribes, gave them magic, and drove the demons into the sea. Ever since the land has belonged to man and the oceans have remained an uncrossable hell, leaving the continent of Lok isolated. It was prophesized that someday the demons would return, and only the descendants of Ramrowan would be able to defeat them. They became the first kings, and all men served those who were their only hope for survival.

Still more remember the devastation of the Chaos War, which ended the Fourth Age of the world. But now a new war is about to begin, more terrible than any have known. This war is one for the very heart and soul of the world itself.

It began in the Time of Tyrants, when ambitious men and women used high-powered computers to seize control of the heart of the Old Empire including Earth itself. The tyrants translated their brains into mobile mechanical bodies and created a new race, the immortal man-machine hybrids called cymeks.

Summary
This attractive new rerelease of The Legend of Huma debuts a new look for the Heroes series. Each title in the series will reflect the new series design. This title is the only Dragonlance novel not written by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman to hit the New York Times best-seller list.
Only fragments of the account of Huma survived the Cataclysm that broke the world of Krynn. The fullness of his tale has never been told – until now. One man took up the call to defend the world against the Queen of Darkness. He was the first Hero of the Lance, driven by his devotion to the Oath and the Measure and his love for a silver dragon. His life made him a hero. Here is the tale that made him a legend….

Good not great
It’s good to have a story of Huma and his exploits with the dark queen and Gwyneth the silver dragon but the story is light on atmosphere and predictable unlike the books from Weis & Hickman which are vibrant. Still worth a read though but it’s not a top shelf book by any means. Definitely a lockdown read.

Not as legendary as I had hoped
What would have made The Legend of Huma better?
More adventuring with Magius & Gweneth. To me, they were just side characters that didn't really help create any impression of any relationship. In another book, Tasselhoff Burfoot popped into a scene where Huma & Magius were running from something and they were startled to see the kender. That, along with other references from other books, gave me the impression that the two had traveled & battled together for a long time, perhaps years and not a few days/weeks, and were dear friends. In this story, Magius was a character that used Huma for his own ends. Yes, he redeemed himself, but his demise was rushed. I had the impression, from other books, that Magius had died in battle because he did not have a weapon after his spells are used up, which is why the mages after that were allowed a weapon. Yes, he ran out of spells, but he was captured and then tortured instead of dying in battle. I had expected the love story with Gweneth to be an epic kind of love where the two are strengthened by their love to fight for Krynn. Huma was rather confused and didn't admit loving her until she was dying. She came off as a confused high school girl instead of a confident dragon.
What could Richard A. Knaak have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
In the beginning, I think he was a little dull about the characters. He just seemed to be reading, not acting. Either, I grew used to that or he changed his performance later because I didn't notice it any longer.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Legend of Huma?
The ending of Magius, the ending of Gweneth, and the defeat of Takhesis. They seemed rushed & were disappointing. I think the Legend of Huma might have been better if it had been longer and had developed the characters and their relationships better.
Any additional comments?
I'm a fan of Dragonlance, but some of the books are disappointing. Those stories are rushed. Almost as if they wanted to make money and didn't care about story or plot as long as they thought it would sell a book. I think they would sell more books if the stories were developed in depth, like in The Chronicles.

Like a fine wine, this book keeps getting better!
Having read and enjoyed this book multiple times throughout several stages of my life ( early adolescence through adulthood), I've always thought it would transition well as an audiobook. Not only did it transfer well, but completely shattered my expectations.
The story itself is timeless. The narration by Richard Topol was amazing. Reminiscent of story tellers of old, Topol breathed life into an already fantastic epic. Topol lent vivd expression to each character. His tone cemented the mood and seamlessly transitioned the story.
If you enjoy fantasy and a classic epic or incredible verbal acting, then do yourself a favor and give this a listen...you won't be disappointed!

The Heroes Series is a must read for any Adventure
Six of the most classic Dragon Lance tales to spark the imagination and inspire your next pen and paper game starts here. They are less violent and vivid than the Sheepfarmer's Daughter series and more appropriate to younger audiences.
Specific to this book, it is entertaining and explores a couple of themes including the role of honor and duty during war, living the spirit of the law as opposed to the letter of the law, living with politics in established organizations, judging people based on their deeds and not their appearance, and serving a cause greater than one's self. A great read with the kids without unwanted surprises.

Poor narration
I am a big fan of the Dragonlance setting and was very excited to finally hear this story. Unfortunately the pace and delivery of the narration make this nearly unlistenable. I’m only a chapter or two in and I already want to stop listening. The text is read so rapidly that the sentences almost run together, but at times stumble to an awkward and sudden stop. I slowed down the playback speed which made it slightly more listenable, but the performance is still very poor. Not recommended.

Still one of the greatest Dragonlance stories
I loved this book when I read it the first time in high school, back when it first came out. I still love it. The story is timeless. Honor is still a thing to be held in high esteem. Loyalty is a good thing. My honor is my life. I based every paladin and knight I ever played on Huma. I loved this telling by Mr. Topol. He's not my favorite but he's not bad. He's as good or better than the performances of Dragonlance tales told by Paul Boemer. The Ax guy who did the twins books is way worse than this guy. I am so glad I reread this one. I'm happy to have it on audible. Thank you for so many wonderful memories, Mr. Knaak.
