I enjoyed it! This guy writes some cool alien worlds. I am really fascinated with how life on Kiln works.
The alien life remind me of siphonophores, or lichen, but with more complexity.
The main character could be a little flippant at inappropriate times- some tense moments would be undercut by sarcastic or snarky thoughts from the narrator. I think I may have enjoyed some of those events more if the tone was more in line with the events that are happening.
