Oh no :( this is really disappointing to hear! I'll be interested to see what I think of it myself when I get around to reading it.
I know what you mean though about a later book revising downward your opinion of earlier books in a series. It's always so unfortunate when that happens, like if only you'd not read that other book you could keep loving the book you loved, but it's too late, you can't unknow what you now know.
James Alan Gardner has some fun alien-aliens in his League of Peoples series, but I don't know how available those books are anymore, they were never super successful. He's also really good though at writing first-person pov stories where the characters really sound different from each other, like the narrative voice is actually the voice of that character.
