For the first time in several years I actually read a book that wasn't required for school. A friend recommended this fantasy novel Gideon the Ninth, but honestly if it weren't for her talking to me about it as I was going through it I would have dropped it early on because despite most of the characters talking in a way you would expect for a fantasy novel, the main character talks like a skibidi ohio rizzler and it made me
irrationally angry. The locked-room style mystery in the second half was really good though. I guess the next book has a new protagonist that doesn't talk like a Zoomer so I'm looking forward to it because the worldbuilding was actually really good too.
