What reading level is The Sword of Attila book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It had been an arduous if uneventful journey from Ravenna, first across the plain of the river Po to the lagoon port of Veneto, then by ship down the Adriatic to the site of the palace of the emperor Diocletian at Spalatum, from there by stages east across the rugged foothills and mountains of Illyricum, and finally on horseback and then on foot as they traversed the high passes and carried on towards the course of the great river, reaching its western bank and the furthest extent of Roman terri...tory the evening before. As they were monks travelling towards barbarian lands no questions had been asked about the purpose of their journey, and the weapons concealed beneath their cassocks had gone unnoticed by fellow travellers and the owners of the inns where they had stayed on the way. Others had come this way in a trickle from the western empire, some lured by the riches to be had in the Danube river trade, others seeking escape and anonymity in the borderlands of the empire, others genuine monks looking to convert the pagans beyond the frontiers, but only they were intent on the perilous journey up the river and across the steppes to the court of Attila the Hun.
