I received a finished copy of Everything You Came to See from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book is thoughtful, emotional and very honest. While the circus setting is certainly interesting (and the world building was fantastic), it's the characters that really shine. Henry, Adrienne and Caleb practically leap off the page. Martin has created some achingly human, deeply flawed characters - and they are beautiful. I don't mean physically (although Adrienne sounds stunning), more like Martin has so succeeded in bringing these characters to life that you can't help but feel for them. Admire them.

The story veered a bit at times, with some sub-plots that could have been discarded, but overall it's solid. And it ends without resolution, which is a kick in the pants that makes you think about how it all may have turned out. I like the not knowing, because I would like to imagine the happy endings each of the characters were striving for.
