Doctor D'Arco, Sorcerer of London

Elizabeth Callens delivers a performance that brings the eerie fog of Victorian London to life with every inflection. Her portrayal of both the dark sorcerer D'Arco and his apprentice Elizabeth Buckingham is nuanced and compelling. The story itself is a masterclass in magical realism, where supernatural elements seamlessly intertwine with real-world struggles. However, the pacing can feel slightly sluggish at times, which might make some audiobook enthusiasts yearn for faster-paced narratives. Nevertheless, the rich tapestry of Colvin's writing and Callens' superb narration ensure that listeners are rewarded with a deeply immersive experience.
