Thanks for the comment and for giving the saga a chance. It's a shame you found so many things you didn't like. Of course, all of them are totally respectable. I just wanted to clarify that the temperature you mentioned is perfectly valid. In fact, the Orion capsule, in which the astronauts returned from their trip around the Moon, withstands up to 2,700 degrees Celsius. This is because the reentry speed, on which the temperatures reached by the hull depend, is higher. In the case of Kepler-442b, the CO₂ layer is thicker than Earth's (this isn't proven data, it's my own choice), which also helps increase friction with the hull. Either way, thanks for reading the book.
Thank you for the temperature clarification. I have removed that part from my comment.
