What reading level is Conan And the Spider God book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He entered the temple early, so as to stand in the front row, whence he had the best view of the spider-idol. Since this was a fair day and sunlight came through the clerestory windows above, Conan could clearly make out the four Eyes across the front of the creature, even at a distance of twenty cubits.
The barbarian’s keen vision caught sight of a thin ring around each Eye, lighter in color than the black stone of the statue. This, Conan reasoned, must be a ring of metal or cement let into the... stone to hold the gem in place. To remove the Eyes he would have to dislodge these retaining rings, and do so very gently, so as not to crack the jewels. Conan had a good working knowledge of gems from his days as a thief, and he knew the fragility of opals.
Meanwhile his passion for Rudabeh, instead of subsiding, tormented him more and more. When Amytis told him that she expected her daughter home for supper, he impatiently awaited her in the garden, brooding.
On one hand, a fierce desire, like a tornado whirling along its serpentine path of destruction, surged up within him, to give up his rootless, adventurous life, to wed Rudabeh according to the laws of Zamora, and to become, as best he might, a solid citizen who cherished his growing family, joined the municipal watch, worshiped at the temple, and paid his tithes.
