What reading level is Daughter of Necessity book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Plain grey wool, held taut by the stone weights tied at the ends, awaiting her hand. She can feel the potential in the threads, the resonance. She has that much of the gift, at least.
But it is madness to think she can do more. It is hubris.
It is desperation.
Her maid stands ready with the bone pick. She takes it up, slides its point beneath the first thread, and begins to weave.
* * * Antinoös will be the most easily provoked. He has no care for the obligations of a guest, the courtesy due... to his host; he sees only the pleasures to be had in food and drink. If these are restricted, marred—the meat burnt, the wine thin, the grapes too soon consumed—then he will complain. And it will take but one poorly phrased reassurance for his complaint to become more than mere words.
The guards will know to watch for this. When Antinoös draws his knife, they will be ready. Others will come to Antinoös’ aid, of course; the tables will be knocked aside, the feast trampled underfoot, the rich treasures of the hall smashed to pieces.
