Myke Cole's excellent
Gemini Cell is 2.99$ on
Kindle (US only).
I thought Control Point was kind of meh. Does it get better?
The second trilogy is better than the first one, so I would say yes.
Cole himself recommends starting with the second trilogy because (a) it's a prequel series, and (b) he was a much better writer by that time. (Control Point was his first book.)
"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"
―Gene Wolfe, The Citadel of the Autarch
