What reading level is Curse Not the King book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shortly after their retirement from the Court, the Empress gave them the Palace of Pavlovsk and they lived there with an extended household, but it was a household composed of all those whom Catherine considered dull or undesirable. The mediocre and the unimportant went to join the Czarevitch in his luxurious retreat. Occasionally they went to Petersburg or to Moscow, to find yet another youthful lover attending on the Empress, provided by the all-powerful Potemkin. And there Paul caught brief g...limpses of his first-born son. The lovely infant had become a child of astonishing beauty, a serious, obedient, dignified little boy with a strangely opaque expression, who clung to his adored grandmother’s hand and tried to turn away when his father approached. Catherine had added this factor to the long list of wrongs she had wrought against her son.
She had taught the Grand Duke Alexander to distrust and hate him.
And for Paul’s part, they were mutual feelings. Somewhere in a corner of his mind there lurked a spark of jealousy, a subconscious resentment of his empty unaffectionate childhood, and the sight of his mother lavishing love upon his son roused him to fresh bitterness.
