Classic Sword and Sorcery Adventure

It's everything you want in a fantasy novel. I can't recommend it enough.

A lasting hero

Kaz, the Minotaur by Richard Knaak is a worthy sequal to the smash 'The legend of Huma'. Richard has a writing style that is fun and interesting to read, and he rates close to Wies and Hickman themselves with his talent. This book is no exception. It is filled with a wonderful storyline that sweeps you away into Kaz's world in the years following the first Dragonwar. Huma is now 5 years dead, and Kaz still feels that he could have done something to help the Knight to destroy Takhisis. For a Minotaur, he has a strong sense of loyalty and is steadfast in his beliefs. This book starts with Kaz running from another band of Minotaurs who are intent on taking him back to their homeland where Kaz is charged with being dishonerable and treasonous. His kender companion, Delbin, keeps this story funny and exciting the whole way through. This book is an absolute must for any dragonlance fan. It sheds must needed light on Kaz, and the pains and struggles he goes through after the death of Huma Dragonbane. This book is definately worth the read. A must!

Great book by a great author.

This book was written extremely well and was a great book to follow The Legend of Huma. The Delbin and Kaz relation adds a lot to this book. Kaz's enemies are interesting to read about as well. It also answered some of my questions that I had from The Land of Minotaurs; which were mainly questions about Scurn and his relationship with some of the other minotaurs. Richard Knaak is my favorite author in the DL series because he is the one that is always writing about my favorite race, the minotaurs. Weis and Hickman are his only equals in the DL series.

A well done Sequel

Richard Knaak does a wonderful job in following up the "Legend of Huma," with "Kaz the Minotaur." An excellent book that starts where it's predecessor left off. Knaak again does an excellent job and keeping the pace up in this book, making it difficult for you to put the book down. The addition introduction of delbin was done excellently, providing a good deal of quality interaction between the two.Knaak also does a good job in getting into the minds of Kaz's pursuers. The Author effectively gives the reader an insight of the conflict of feelings from within the group and a good deal of background information as well as they chase Kaz.Another quality job by Richard Knaak, who is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I recommend this book to anybody who loves fantasy adventure. Although it's not necessary to read the "Legend of Huma" first, I do recommend it.

An epic work in an epic world

This book (the sequel to The Legend of Huma) is truely an excellent conclusion to Knaak's series. It is about the fantasy world of Krynn from the best-selling Dragonlance novels, as seen through the eyes of Huma's companion Kaz. A minotaur exiled from his homeland, he travels in the world of humans who fear him. This tale is about adventure and life, but above all, honor. I strongly recommend all fans of the fantasy genre read these two books, it does not get any better.

Kaz The Mintaur is Excellent!

Read this book if you've read The Legend of Huma or even if you haven't. this book is great as a sequel or as a stand-alone.Actionized fighting and devious magic make it a keeper!
