Synopsis

Snatched through a portal into a land of magic, a young musician must use a mysterious, multistring duar to rescue the world into which he has fallen before he can return to his own.

Jonathan Thomas Meriweather is a typical college student, interested in girls, music, and an occasional taste of reefer. But when a journey through an interdimensional portal lands him in a world of talking animals and ominous sorcery, he finds he is on a very different trip indeed. Here, when he plays a strange instrument called a duar, peculiar things happen: powerful magic that may be the only way to stop a dark force that threatens his new world—and his old one. Reluctantly, he finds himself teaming up with a semi-senile turtle wizard; a thieving, backstabbing otter; and a bewildered Marxist dragon to rally an army for the war about to come.

Spellsinger, the first in Alan Dean Foster's eight-book Spellsinger series, introduces a world of magic and mayhem, where animals are people and plunging ahead no matter what the consequences may be the only way to survive.

Goodreads review by Choko on August 02, 2021

*** 4 *** I wish I had found this series when I was a teenager, because I would have been crazy about it at that time. This is a very imaginative world full of animals as intelligent as humans, most of them living together. The separation between the social groups are based on being warmbloods, insec......more

Goodreads review by Benji's Books on December 03, 2023

Twenty-something year-old Johnathan Meriweather is teleported to a strange, medieval world with talking animals, dragons, and magic. It's a fun read, most likely one that I would have enjoyed more in my teen years, but fun nonetheless. The other reviews are right in saying it feels a lot like Bill a......more

Goodreads review by Craig on April 15, 2024

This is the first book in a long-running fantasy series. I'm sorry that I didn't read it forty years ago because I would have probably liked it much better then, but it was still quite clever and a lot of fun. It's about a young man who's a law student and musician transported to a magical world to......more

Goodreads review by Ralph on February 11, 2021

This book kept surprising me. I would think the story would be headed to a certain conclusion, then go off on these delightful journeys I wasn't really expecting. When I read a typical fantasy novel I don't often find myself reflecting, but this book has a subtle introspective quality that left me w......more

Goodreads review by Simply Sam on July 07, 2017

This is one of those books that I read as a teen that I totally forgot about until I saw the title. Then I was like, "SPELLSINGER! I LOVED that book!," although I can't recollect why I loved it. It's just the feeling I got when I saw the title. If a book title alone can make me smile 20+ years after......more
