The Secret Diaries of Juan Luis Vives is a great debut for Tim Darcy Ellis. I thought this was a really good read. The writing style is a bit unique than what I am used to but I thought it was refreshing to read something that is different. I love to read books from the Tudor era but somehow, I missed the history of Juan Luis Vives. I thought he was an intriguing individual of the times. I have never heard of him before and found myself searching the internet to find out more about him. The author obviously did some extensive research and it shows within the pages of this book. It was fascinating to learn so much about him and loved how Mr Ellis was able to bring him to life.
I am giving The Secret Diaries of Juan Luis Vives four and a half stars. I would love to see more books written by Tim Darcy Ellis in the near future. He definitely has proved to me that he is quite talented. I am curious as to what other historical figures he has in mind for more releases. I recommend this one for readers who enjoy historical fiction based on true historical figures and for those who love to read Tudor era stories. I thought it was a great read and it should not be missed.
I received The Secret Diaries of Juan Luis from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
