What reading level is Rulers of Kings : a Novel book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The manuscripts in their jewelled cases, the thousand objects of barbaric magnificence, were gone forever.
There was no modern art that could simulate them, even could craftsmen be found with patience for the at- tempt ; but Ranata had persuaded the Emperor to send to Buda some twenty of the superfluous Gobelins which the Hapsburgs have retained throughout their vicissi- tudes. Her argument had enlivened the mood of her father, and raised still higher his hope in his youngest born.
"The Hungari...ans," Ranata had written, "no doubt resent the very obvious fact that there are so few treas- 246 RULERS OF KINGS ures in the Palace of Buda, and, knowing that our tap- estries are packed away in large numbers, and are as priceless as they are beautiful, must infer that we fear to trust them in this most precarious of our possessions.
So it has seemed to me that it would be another stroke of diplomacy to send several of the best, with the under- standing that they are to remain here. It is a small yet impressive sum to stake as an expression of our confi- dence in ourselves and our Hungarian subjects." The tapestries had been promptly despatched, and now hung in the four circle rooms opening into the Great Hall of Ceremonies, and in the blue drawing-room and adjacent dining-room.
