It is told in second person, which is unusual, but doesn't seem to use it for a specific purpose. In some ways it connects you more to the main character, but not enough for it to be necessary.
As it is a novella, the story is short and to the point. I enjoyed that, but also would have liked to spend some more time with the characters. Yang does a good job of making you care for them, though, even in the short narrative of the novella.
Basically a short, fun read.
