What reading level is When the War is Over book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What had been a duel, lost honorably and without resentment, became a charade, himself an inept harlequin, a clown in blue. His first notice of it was a letter, instructing him to appear before the court, when and where (the how he knew: full uniform, sword; and the why he supposed he knew, from an occasional twinge in his shoulder). The letter galled him, not by its message but by its presumption, its bland reduction of Catto himself to a minor comic character tripping on doorsills, codpiece fl...apping, eyes rolling whitely. He had heard no gossip, no whisper, and had hoped that the army, his army, would have the good sense to be manly, reasonable, chary of such trivia, perhaps spanking the boy and sending him along home. More than that: it did not seem right to him that the boy be accused, much less locked up, marched about under guard, flung into the maw of justice, records, history, without Catto’s consent. All that for an honest misdemeanor when even Haller, his best soldier, was a free felon, a thief of beef, of bags of beans and sacks of sugar sold or swapped for cash or tobacco.
