One of my favorite books of all time.  I've re-read it several times and holds up each time.  My prime example of a Fantasy book.

Woah, woah, woah! An absolute all-timer of a fantasy tale full of memorable characters, wild adventures, and a whole lot of heart.

That final battle with Huma vs. Takhisis? Might just be the coolest thing I’ve ever read.

Definitely going to be checking out more of Richard A. Knaak’s stuff ASAP and going to be inspired by this crazy little book for a while.

One of my favorite books of all time - got it randomly for my Birthday in 1997 when I turned 12 - this was one of the original books that started me on my reading journey

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.

I read the novel as a teen. This isn't so much an adaptation as a prequel, and not a very good one. It leaves a lot unexplained. Why do the Knights dislike Huma, when dragons, wizards, and minotaurs seem to love him? Who is this Magius guy, and what kind of name is that anyway? It's like a doctor named medicine. It also ends sharply with no conclusion and points the reader to the novel. I find that rather odd since the comic was published years after the book.

The art is good, but not good enough to save this from a weak story.
