What reading level is Game of Queens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Cardinal Wolsey’s palace of York Place, the pre-Lent festivities were celebrated with more than usual splendour. The pageant might have come from the old Burgundian court: an assault on the Château Vert, the Green Castle or Castle of ‘Vert’ue. The castle was made of wood and green tinfoil, sturdy enough for its towers to support eight ladies dressed in white satin, each representing a virtue, with her character or ‘reason’ picked out in yellow. The knights, led by King Henry VIII himself, and... their spokesman, Ardent Desire, were dressed in cloth of gold and blue satin and were warded off, for a judicious interval, with a barrage of sweetmeats and rosewater.
In the end, of course, the masculine attackers prevailed; the colder female virtues warmed by masculine ardour, and everyone danced happily. But no one, for a few years yet, could guess how telling the pageant would prove to be. The lady representing Perseverance – newly come home from France – was Anne Boleyn.
The Anne Boleyn who appeared at the English court in 1522 would have been a very finished product.
