What reading level is Bring Down the Sun book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Priests and pilgrims brought her offerings of flowers and fruit, sweet cakes and strong wine.
The Bull and his companions danced for her. They put on armor and filled themselves with wine and danced the wild, clashing dance that was sacred to the Great Gods and the Divine Brothers.
It was a vauntingly male thing. Polyxena, raised in a staider observance, was mildly shocked. Yet her body loved the ferocity of it, the leaping and stamping and the clangor of bronze. When they raised their war-cry, ...she gasped; then she laughed.
It was a splendid noise before the Mother. But they danced it for her—for Polyxena, the living woman behind the Mother’s mask.
* * * With the dawn, Polyxena returned to her mortal self. The terrace of the Mystery was strewn with bodies, sleeping tangled in one another or drowned in wine. Even the priests had given themselves up to the rite.
There was wine enough in her, but it made her mind clearer instead of clouding it. She left the throne, treading lightly on trampled garlands and bruised petals.
