What reading level is The Lion of the North book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The populationof the city itself was greatly swollen by the crowds of Protestantfugitives who had fled there for refuge on the approach of theImperialists, and the magazines of the city dwindled fast under thedemands made upon them by this addition, and that of the Swedish army, to the normal population. Fever broke out in the city and camp. Thewaters of the Pegnitz were tainted by the carcasses of dead horses andother animals. The supplies of forage had long since been exhausted, andthe baggag...e and troop animals died in vast numbers.
Still there was no sign of a change. Wallenstein would not attack, Gustavus could not. The Swedish king waited to take advantage of somefalse move on the part of the Imperial commander; but Wallenstein was asgreat a general as himself, and afforded him no opening, turning a deafear to the entreaties and importunities of Maximilian that he would endthe tedious siege by an attack upon the small and enfeebled army aroundNuremberg.
All this time Gustavus was in constant communication with his generalsoutside, his messengers making their way by speed or stratagem throughthe beleaguering Croats, and kept up the spirits of his men by dailyreviews and by the cheerful countenance which he always wore.
