Yep, especially the alien species in the second book. Which was basically The Thing, but much more interesting.
Comment on a strong beak, of course

If anyone is interested in “what could alien life look like?”, I can highly reccoment reading the Children Of Time trilogy by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
He manages to really have his alien species feel like truely something non-human.
Reading the novels feels like going on an adventure

I echo this, I was truly astonished by how much empathy and connection I had with alien creatures.
I’ve not got round to reading the third book but this has nudged me to go get my e-reader out.

be warned that it feels different and sometimes confusing, narration-wise. Just keep at it.
Some people don’t like it because of that, but I like it. The new species opens some interesting philosophy
