How hard is Костяной жнец to read?

Костяной жнец scores 30 out of 100 for difficulty on ReadingRate, making it relatively accessible. The score is a weighted composite of nine measures: four of how hard the prose is to parse, five of how hard the meaning is to extract.

Vocabulary: 33 out of 100
At 27,500 words, this short work appears aimed at general readers, and nothing indicates specialised or archaic diction. It likely sits nearer the accessible contemporary fiction of Beach Read than the dense prose of Gravity's Rainbow.
Sentence structure: 30 out of 100
Nothing indicates unusual syntax; a short genre work most plausibly uses straightforward sentences. Comparable in ease to Beach Read.
Abstraction: 33 out of 100
A short work in a genre mode most likely stays with concrete events rather than theory. It is likely closer to Asterix the Gaul in concreteness than to Notes from Underground.
Information density: 30 out of 100
At novella length, the work carries little room for sprawling plotlines or encyclopedic detail. Expect a light load, similar to Beach Read.
Narrative indirection: 30 out of 100
No evidence suggests fragmented or unreliable narration, so a direct telling is the safer estimate. It likely reads more like Beach Read than The Great Gatsby.
Symbolic density: 30 out of 100
Nothing known points to a heavy symbolic layer. A short genre work most likely keeps symbolism light, as in Beach Read.
Ironic distance: 25 out of 100
No evidence of satire or an unreliable voice; sincere storytelling is the likeliest mode. Closer to It Ends with Us than to Lolita.
Resolution withholding: 35 out of 100
A short standalone work most plausibly delivers a conventional ending. Nothing suggests the open-ended resistance of 2666.
Structural complexity: 25 out of 100
At 27,500 words, there is little room for nested timelines or formal experiments. Likely linear, like Beach Read.
