What reading level is The Escapement book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A triple star meant the form could only be used by a senior member of the Guild in good standing, but there weren't very many of those. He turned the pages slowly, looking for a phrase or a happy collision of words that would at least get him started.
(What were you supposed to do, when you were called upon to make something for which no specification existed? It was a question that was regularly set in the ethics papers of Guild professional exams, and it was an open secret that all the possibl...e answers to it were equally wrong; the purpose of the question was to gauge the candidate's tolerances of error when error was inevitable.) Lucao Psellus to Ziani Vaatzes, greetings.
First, I expect you'd like to know that Ariessa and Moritsa are both well. I have this from your friend Falier, whom I spoke to this morning.
(That was from Form 207, a parent to his son abroad on behalf of the family business. Not inappropriate, as far as it went.) With regard to the present crisis The nearest anybody ever came to a correct answer was that no citizen of the Republic would ever place an order for an artefact for which there was no specification (excluding, of course, military equipment reserved for the defence of the City).
