Alright, I've read To Be Taught, if Fortunate, and I have to say that Becky Chambers may be one of my new favourite authors (alongside Martha Wells for her brilliant Murderbot Diaries series)!
It's a novella about a small crew of humans being sent out to document the extraterrestrial life on 4 different planets. I loved every single page of this book. It's really good. I loved all 4 characters and their interactions. I loved the settings that were described. But for me, the best part of the book was when she started describing the extraterrestrial lifeforms that they discovered. They were so cool! I'm developing an interest in speculative evolution, so this book basically scratched all of my itches at once.
Highly recommend this one! Now I just need to read the Wayfarers series to complete the gauntlet...

Mind you, it'd be interesting to have an alien world that was similar to ours, with a similar biology, but just different enough to make it horribly toxic to us without resorting to stuff like chirality, because Mass Effect did that already.

Now, I'm not a biologist, but it seems plausible on the face of it. I figure the real question is how you'd end up with enough of it free in the environment to sustain an ecosystem. Some kind of algae (later plant) analogue might produce it as part of its metabolism, though it couldn't be the only byproduct, as I'm pretty sure perchlorates wouldn't be enough of an energy store, and I've no idea what chemical and biological processes such an organism might use.

I wonder how plausible it might be for complex life to have perchlorates as a vital part of their biology. I'm thinking that they might serve two purposes: as a kind of an antifreeze, and also as a source of oxygen on what would otherwise be an ice world, which would also give anything using it as part of their metabolism another source of heat.
