What reading level is Riding the Serpent's Back book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Junction Monahl watched from her hiding place as the great ironclad drifted serenely down the Hamadryad towards the Junction. The vessel was painted red and gold, with feathers and flower petals stuck to every surface. The side closest to the bank was reinforced with sheet iron shielding, interrupted every so often by small gaps through which poked the snouts of light cannons.
At the ship’s bow a spur jutted forward and suspended from this was a corpse flayed of all skin. Bundles of muscle a...nd sinew intertwined, glistening wetly in the early morning light; the white globes of its eyeballs stared out from their sockets. A ragged tuft of hair sprouted from the crown of the figure’s head, bound into a twist with the sloughed skin of a snake.
This figure was a representation of Huipo, the most merciless of the True People’s gods: their god of war. The only offering Huipo recognised was the flayed body of a man, woman or child. The grotesque object suspended from the boat’s bow was their tribute, their plea for the help of the merciless one.
