What reading level is The Years of Rice And Salt book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Things were in turmoil, China's new Manchu dynasty was in an expansive temper; the new Manchu emperor, usurper that he was, was not content with the old and fading empire he had conquered, but was determined to reinvigorate it by war, extending his conquests into the rich rice kingdoms to the south, Annam and Siam and Burma, as well as the parched wastelands in the middle of the world, the deserts and mountains separating China from the Dar, crossed by the threads of the Silk Road. After crossin...g that waste they would run into India, the Islamic khanates, and the Savafid empire. In the caravanserai it was said that Yarkand and Kashgar were already taken—perfectly believable, as they had been defended for decades by the merest remnants of the Ming garrisons, and by bandit warlords. Nothing lay between the khanate of Bokhara and these wastelands but the Tarim basin and the Ferghana mountains, and the Silk Road crossed those in two or three places. Where caravans went, banners could certainly follow.
