Chorus Skating (The Spellsinger Adventures) Kindle Edition

A middle-aged, out-of-shape spellsinger yearns for one last great adventure, in this rollicking fantasy by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.

Jon-Tom and Mudge are bored.

Their adventuring days long behind them, the spellsinger and his once-thieving otter sidekick have settled into a life of tepid domesticity, and they are sick of it. They hunger for an old-fashioned adventure, but there are no more great evils to combat. And so they decide to follow the music. Literally.
A drifting cloud of lost chords has taken to floating around Jon-Tom, and following it puts them on the trail of an evil that terrifies the spellsinger. Something is stealing music. Finding out who, and why, is responsible for the silencing of the instruments will put Jon-Tom and Mudge into great peril, at the hands of a selfish elephant, a greedy black bear, and a whirlpool with a filthy sense of humor. Seeking adventure, they’ve stumbled into one turn that may turn out to be their last.

A very good completion to the Spellsinger series. As in every one of the other books in the Spellsinger series they jump from adventure to adventure without so much as a break to rest or catch their breath

4.0 out of 5 stars Spellsinger: The Final Adventure (?)
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2014

The final chapter (so far, and does not look like there will be more) in the Spellsinger saga. This one goes back to the old team, JonTom and Mudge as they try to help a snippet of music. The series was getting fairly formulaic at this point, but it is still a fun read. Our heroes are feeling their age a bit and you get the feeling that this is intended to be their last big adventure. Mr. Foster still provides us with some amusing new character to help our heroes, in the form of a Rhino and his Bird companion. They provide some nice visuals for your minds eye during some battles scenes.

Alan Dean Foster's characters are far from normal but so much fun. The mixing end of altered old rock songs pops up memories while serving the plot's purpose

You have to have read the preceding books to understand the story in full, but it is a good read on it's own merit.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as ever.....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2017

I love all the Spellsinger books. This latest one is certainly in keeping with the canon, plenty of humour, imaginative places and people. The only quarrel I have had in the past with ADF' s work has been a slight lack of attention to detail. For instance, in one of the earlier books the hero' s music is described as like Angus Mckie of AC/DC. Angus Mckie is an artist. Angus YOUNG is AC/DC's guitarist. Jon-Tom is also described as a lead bass player. There isn't really any such animal, there ARE lead guitarists, but not bassists.(unless you count Level 42!) Fortunately, there's none of that here, and JTM now has far more control over his music than previously, to the point where he doesn't have to borrow songs quite so much but can devise his own. There is also a markedly more mature outlook for the travelers, even Mudge the otter is not as philandering as he once was. I suppose we all have to grow up.....
Also nice to see the ultimate villain as another musician (albeit a wannabe), from Jon-Toms world. I can't really say any more without giving too much away, but I would urge you to read this latest entry. Any more on the horizon?
