The Doctor
Audiobook
By:C.S. Poe
Story: 5 stars
Narration: 5 Stars
If I could give this audiobook more stars I would. First of all, this series is fantastic. I love the world and characters and the research that C.S. Poe does to include true facts in her stories is mind blowing. Adding a great narrator like Declan Winters takes this already amazing story and magnifies how beautiful, tragic, magical and lovely it is.
I forgot how romantic Gunner can be and I don’t think I fully got that from just reading this. Add Declan Winters voice for Gunner, that gravely, smoky voice, and it gives me goosebumps. Every time he says “My dear” to Gillian I want to melt into a puddle of goo.
Here are a few examples:
I wiped my nose on the sleeve of my shirt. “You still love me?” “My dear, I never stopped.”
I drew in a breath like I’d been hit in the solar plexus by a pair of fighting gloves, and said, while staring at his face, “I-I dream about how blue your eyes are.” “I dream about all of you,” Gunner replied, profoundness in his blunt simplicity.
“Tell me something.” “What’s that?” “I don’t know. I don’t care. Anything. Just in case.” “This isn’t where our story ends, my dear.” Gunner drew close and cupped my face in one hand. “It’s only now begun.”
This was exciting and it tied so much together that was left unanswered in the first two books. We get Gillian’s tragic backstory and find out some things about Gunner, who is so mysterious. Together they work like a well oiled machine and their devotion to each other is stunning. There are so many sweet and endearing parts to this story plus some humor.
“My prick has more magic in it than you do.” “Well…,” Gunner murmured with a thoughtful nod before the comment trailed off and he left it open to considerable interpretation.
If you have read Poe before or even if you haven’t and you have not read this series I highly recommend it. I also encourage you to listen to the audiobook.
I can not end my review without mentioning two other characters that I hope get their own book. Together would be a dream come true! Addison O’Dea and Loren Moore.
Once again C.S. Poe has exceeded expectations with this story and if you haven’t listened to Declan Winters before then you’re missing out on a truly wonderful narrator.
Original Review:
This series is so good! I love everything about Gillian and Gunner and this book explores more of their pasts and leaves us with quite the cliffhanger!
I love the world that Poe has created in this series, one of magic and steampunk mixed with historical facts and fiction. It all comes together perfectly. Poe does her research and she weaves this research into her books. I love following her on social media because she shares such interesting facts! These make her books more interesting to me.
In this book we find out more about Gillian and who he used to be, who he grew up as and what he was forced to do. His magic has always been used by those around him, not by choice, but he’s come into his own and he vows to not let others abuse his magic again.
Gunner has been a mysterious character for the most part, keeping things close to him silent. We know he’s been in love before and that he is good with keeping his cool at all times. Learning about his past was exactly what I’ve been yearning for and it’s quite a surprise. I love how everything is interwoven. His past has come back to haunt him and it includes Gillian now.
I love supporting characters in this series also, especially Loren Moore and Addison O’Dea! I’d love more about these two characters!!!!
I read this book much too quickly but I couldn’t help myself! I will definitely be getting the audiobook when it’s released because the audio is worth checking out! I will be waiting for the next book in this awesome series!!!!
