Jenks and Kizzy have a friendly working relationship and a great rapport. I like his relationship with Pei, it's nice to see a long-distance thing portrayed well. Ashby is the captain, which means he doesn't pal around with the crew much but still is close to most of them. The ship has a relatively small crew but it's enough to make a character relationship web complicated pretty quickly.
Because she isn't the only point-of-view character there's a pretty robust diversity not only of perspectives but of angles for explanation. Main character - If anyone is the main character it might be Rosemary, she's definitely the reader's way into the narrative as a human who doesn't have any travel experience and is generally unfamiliar with the people and places that they encounter on the way. That means I can't really point to an overall style, other than that once I tracked names enough to tell Jenks and Ashby apart I did all right for the rest of the book (I kept mixing up who was with Pei). There are a lot of characters and they generally feel distinct from each other. THE LONG WAY TO A SMALL, ANGRY PLANET is about a ship, a crew, a space journey, and the friends they made and (or sometimes tragically lost) along the way.
