> Frog aliens with a legal system that lets the lawyers kill each other, or judges, or witnesses

> energy beings that can make stargates anywhere and who barely understand us because we're only four-dimensional

> whatever the fuck Ceylang was, three genders, offend one and you offend them all and they'll fucking kill you

> humans that regard everyone else as potential victims

the prequel, "Whipping Star" had even more aliens, but few of them were described with more than a couple of paragraphs.

BLINDSIGHT!

Can't reveal much of what the aliens are like since that'd spoil the enjoyment, but the whole book is available for free anyways. You get no-shit better philosophy than 80% of what is cranked out nowadays as a side reward.
