What reading level is The Prefect book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The escort servitor had broken down, but it had given Thalia clear instructions about where she should go. Now she quickened her pace, the cylinder weighing heavily on her wrist, until she emerged into a huge arena-like space. She appeared to be standing on a railed balcony, the opposite wall an easy hundred metres away. The wall was divided into endless boxlike partitions, stacked on many levels, but the blood-red light was too dim for Thalia to see more than that. Above was only inky darkness,... with no suggestion of how high the ceiling was.
Next to her, the whiphound snapped around agitatedly, sizing up the new space in which it found itself.
‘Easy,’ she whispered. ‘Maintain defence posture one.’ That was when a new voice boomed out of nowhere. ‘Welcome, Thalia. This is Orson Newkirk speaking. I’m sorry about your tribulations with the servitor.’ She raised her own voice in return. ‘I can’t see you, Citizen Newkirk.’ ‘My apologies. It’s spectacularly bad form not to be there to greet your guests, but I haven’t been unplugged in a while and there was a problem with one of my disconnect valves.
