This book had me hooked from the very beginning! I absolutely loved the time jumps and the diverse locations the characters visited. The story was incredibly unique, and it was a refreshing change to read something entirely different. Evelyn and Arden’s journeys were each distinct yet shared the same core character traits, which was executed flawlessly.

Around the 80% mark, there was a twist that I didn’t anticipate, and I didn’t particularly enjoy the direction it took the storyline. However, I believe that everything ultimately turned out well and concluded the storyline exceptionally well. If the plot had taken a different turn, I would have definitely given it a 5-star rating.

Thank you to St. Martins Press for my ARC that was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this story! It was emotional and raw and sweet and heartwarming and GAHHH so flipping good. The plot was unique, and the twist I never saw coming. I highly recommend going in blind, not reading through spoilers.

The writing was absolutely beautiful and every page engaging. I couldn't put it down! I don't want to say much because I don't want to spoil anything. If you like fantasy romance that's emotional and has great characters and plot, you'll love this.

Steven's newest novel is told from the point of view from a young person who is killed by the same person before their eighteenth birthday, before being reincarnated and starting the cycle again. Their killer is also the person they love. But in this life, they are desperate to survive just long enough to donate their stem cells to their sister dying of cancer, so they try to put off their fate somehow. While the writing could get a bit repetitive, the plot was propulsive as we flashed between modern day and the past lives the pair had lead around the world. I was surprised by the revelation of why they kill/die before the eighteenth birthday. This book has echoes of VE Schwab's Addie LaRue and How to Lose the Time War, while also feeling quite original.

Thanks to the NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review. I was incredibly intrigued by the premise of this book, but I thought the execution was lacking. The story moved incredibly slowly and I never once believed, until the very very end, that the two main characters had loved each other for 1000 years.

This book was devastating and so, so beautiful. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that broke my heart so many times. I honestly can’t believe this is YA—are we even allowed to put young adults through this level of emotional devastation? The writing was absolutely stunning, so lyrical and immersive, and I highlighted so many lines. I was completely lost in this story, and the love between these characters felt so deep, so all-consuming, so real.

I debated between four and five stars because this book was painful to read, but it left a mark on my soul. I devoured it, cried multiple times, and felt so many emotions. The premise was so unique, and I was fully immersed in the way their souls kept finding each other over and over again. What ultimately solidified my five-star rating was just how beautifully written it was.

My only small critique is that the pacing sometimes felt a little slow, especially when jumping between the present day and past lives. The dual timeline structure occasionally took me out of the story, but that’s more of a personal preference than a flaw in the book itself. However, the way it explored love across lifetimes was incredible. No matter their race, gender, or background in each life, their souls always found each other, and their love remained just as strong.

I truly can’t say enough good things about this book. It was one of the best I’ve read in a long time—completely magnificent. Just be prepared for heartbreak, but absolutely pick this one up. I’ve never read anything like it.

4.5 ⭐️ Rounded up

Wow! What a unique and beautiful story! I honestly can say that I haven’t ever read a story like this before and absolutely loved it! The past and present story telling along with the mystery and fantasy aspects definitely brought this story together and made it so much fun to read!

I absolutely loved the characters! You could feel the love each character had throughout the story and the tension of what is going to happen next kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved that once I finished the book; it left me wondering and questioning what would I do in their situation? What are the limits I had for love? How blindly would I follow the person I love? It’s always a unique situation where even though you finish a book, it still creeps up on you with questions like these and makes you remember how good the book was.

You’ll enjoy this book if you like:
•Reincarnation
•Past/Present story telling
•Real World Mixed with Fantasy
•LGBTQIA+ Representation
•Strong Family Ties

I’d like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the advanced reader copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was so incredibly lovely, and tragic, and hopeful. It's just too beautiful. Thank you so much for the arc

I really enjoyed this book. The premise caught me immediately and I was super compelled to read about this love story.

The writing it beautifully done and engaging. I love a good nonlinear timeline and this definitely added layers to Evelyn and Ardens story. I normally can call plot twists in YA novels but I was pleasantly surprised by the one presented in this novel.

Very much Addie LaRue and Erin Morgenstern vibes, especially with the lyrical prose.

“I love you, and I have loved you, and I will love you.”
They've loved each other in a thousand lifetimes. They've killed each other in every one.

I devoured this book in 24 hours. I didn’t know a book could cause me so much heartache. Especially one that is marketed as YA. I took a day before writing this review because I wanted to marinate in my thoughts about the book. Can confirm this is still SIX STARS. Without a doubt.

This book follows the souls of Evelyn and Arden who are fated to be together. Through each life, they never live past 18 years before they are killed. This story is a nonlinear timeline, showing us her present life in Wales, with many flashbacks to previous lives through the thousand years her soul has been alive, always fated to find Arden’s soul. In present Wales, Evelyn needs to live past 18 to provide her sister with a bone marrow transplant. It is a race against time, trying to outsmart Arden in the race against the timer on their souls.

The writing was absolutely beautiful, lyrical at times, and I have never highlighted a book as much as I did reading Our Infinite Fates. This felt like a heartbreaking historical fantasy romance all rolled into one. As we view their previous lives, their souls never take the same characteristics. They are not limited to one sex, gender, race, or sexuality. This made their love even more beautiful.

The ending quite honestly blew my mind. I love a good plot twist and that one completely broke me.

It is compared to be a mixture of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and This is How You Lose The Time War. I have only read Addie LaRue, but can confirm that was a fantastic comparison. If you loved that novel, I know you with also love Our Infinite Fates. I will be telling everyone I know to read this novel.

Side Note: I normally do not enjoy YA novels. But this novel was beautiful, thoughtful, and heartbreaking. Highly, highly recommend even if YA is not your usual genre.

There are so many good things to say about this book. Lyrical in its story telling, it contains such an interesting mix of historical fiction, romance and mystery. I was hooked instantly, needing to know how Arden and Evelyn came about and where they would end up. I found the alternating timelines of present and past lives truly immersive, though I do wish we got a little bit more detail about the two main characters within each timeline. Though I understand that they spent time together before their deaths, I do think showing snippets of those memories rather than just their endings would have allowed the reader to understand the complexity of their bond more.

Overall, I felt like I couldn’t tear myself away from this book. It was beautiful, unique and inspiring. Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press/Wednesday Books for the ARC!

This was one of my most anticipated reads, and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I fell in love instantly and already know I’ll be rereading it over and over again.

The story follows two souls eternally bound—destined to meet in every lifetime. But for Evelyn, this cycle is a curse. In every life, she remembers being murdered before her eighteenth birthday—and the one responsible is always Arden, the other half of her soul. But in this life, Evelyn has something to fight for—her sister. To save her, she must find the hunter before they find her, unravel the truth behind their curse, and resist the pull of fate that always leads her back to Arden.

Evelyn is the kind of protagonist who radiates warmth—she’s full of love, empathy, and an unshakable belief in the goodness of others. Every lifetime, she opens her heart completely, making her losses feel all the more devastating. In contrast, Arden is cold, calculating, and weary from the weight of immortality—but through glimpses into their past lives, we see the depth of their struggles. Their connection is achingly beautiful, an unbreakable thread that binds them no matter how many times fate tears them apart. Their love is magnetic, full of tragedy and forgiveness, making every moment between them feel profound.

One of my absolute favorite parts of this book was the writing. It’s lyrical, atmospheric, and filled with poetry that adds another layer of depth to Evelyn and Arden’s bond. This book made me slow down, reflect, and truly appreciate the fleeting beauty of the present. There are so many stunning passages that will stay with me, and I hope everyone gets the chance to experience them.

Our Infinite Fates is an unforgettable story of love, fate, and the lives we touch along the way. If you love poetic prose, star-crossed romance, and stories that leave you breathless, this is a must-read.

Thank you so much NetGalley for the ARC!

This book had a promising synopsis, but ultimately missed the mark for me. The flowery language used throughout the book often felt out of place for adolescent characters, making it hard to connect with their voices. The pacing was slow and meandering, culminating in a lukewarm anticlimax. Steven leaned heavily on telling over showing, so the emotional moments fell flat and the relationships felt underdeveloped.

While there were occasional sparks of interest, the cringey over-the-top language and predictable plot left me disappointed. The twists felt weak and didn't have the impact I was hoping for, and the lack of background on the characters' relationship made it hard to stay engaged. Excited as I was, this one never fully delivered on the promise of its premise.

This is such a unique storyline. I loved the idea of it. It is very romantic and a bit suspenseful. I recommend checking it out!

Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven is an enchanting, high-stakes tale of fate, love, and breaking the cycle of destiny. Evelyn and Arden are cursed to find each other in every lifetime—only for one to kill the other before their eighteenth birthday. But this time, Evelyn is determined to change their fate, no matter the cost.

Steven’s writing is lyrical and immersive, drawing you into a beautifully woven story filled with tension, romance, and heartbreak. The twists keep you hooked, and the emotional depth makes this a truly unforgettable read. If you loved The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue or This Is How You Lose the Time War, you need to pick this up!

This book had everything you could ask for! Reincarnation, a curse and a mystery to unravel. Definitely recommend for fans of the invisible life of Addie la rue.

This was excellent. The writing was slightly overwrought in moments (to my taste), but the premise was just so compelling. I loved all the past lives flashbacks: beautifully constructed moments in time. I also loved the very very end. It took this wild twist (that I wasn't sure was going to work because it felt so out of the blue) and pulled it back around to fit the story.

If you loved The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, you should read this book immediately. It is different, although it feels the same as far as the beautiful writing, and basically the journey through time and so many lifetimes. The basic premise of this story is that two fated lovers are together through hundreds of lifetimes, finding each other in various forms and places, but they have to kill each other before they turn 18, or face mysterious consequences.

This is one of the few books that I loved having flashbacks--they felt essential to the story since they had so many lives together before the one in the present. I ended loving them, especially because of the diverse people and places Evelyn and Arden were in each. There was no limitation of them just being in Europe, or the West, they were all over the world, covering almost every region in the world in various timelines. I especially liked that Evelyn and Arden were not male or female in every lifetime--they switched around as randomly as their location did with each reincarnation.

I also (mostly) loved the development of the romance in this book. Seeing them love each other in so many lifetimes, and then finding each other again in the present, even with the issues Arden had was great. I also loved how they came together at the end. Their story and relationship was not perfect, but that made it more realistic, despite the fantastical nature of their reincarnation. I will say, there were a few things that bothered me, which came down to some parts of their story being tragic and traumatic.

The story itself followed a clear line, with no twists being way from the left field (even though I did not fully predict the main twist). The plot and its twists felt right for the story, especially for the fantasy aspect of Evelyn and Arden having so many lives. I was also quite happy with the ending--it felt fitting and I would have been mad if it ended more tragically than it did. It neatly tied the loose ends of the book.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you St. Martin's Press/ Wednesday Books for this eARC in exchange for this review!

This was a really beautiful story, it was heartbreaking and hopeful and not a 'fun' time but I wanted to keep reading, I was enjoying it...not to be confused with loving what was happening. just to be super clear on that - I don't thrive in pain lol

The characters and everyone in all the span of times we read about, however brief, capture the same feeling of same - like you would feel it being the same person even if you didn't KNOW it was the same person.

I love loved reading the spectrum of reincarnations, the soulmate aspect proved over and over and over that it's SOUL, does not matter what body it inhabits, what socioeconomic class they fall into, what gender they might be assigned to etc. At first, it really threw me off, but as you get to know them you can almost unfailingly know which one you're reading about first.

The over arching story is expansive and gorgeous, the main plot she's currently experiencing is touching, and also funny at times which definitely adds levity.

I think this is going to emotionally tear apart a lot of people, which is exactly what I wanted it to do to me haha - it fell a tiny tiny bit flat ( by that I mean I didn't cry but I could feel the tears WANTING to if that makes sense)

The end was beautiful and hopeful and gorgeous. I loved it.

wow. just wow. i’ve been following this book since may of 2024 when i saw a tiktok marketing it as if ‘exile’ by taylor swift was a book. i knew from the jump i would love this book. i was right. 



i was fortunate enough to get an eARC and an ALC of ‘Our Infinite Fates’ (thanks @wednesdaybooks and @macmillan.audio!) 



this book follows Evelyn and Arden across lifetimes. Evelyn remembers bits and pieces of her past lives. She also remembers that in every single one, she’s been murdered before her eighteenth birthday by Arden, a supernatural being whose soul―and survival―is tethered to hers.

the problem is that she’s quite fond of the life she’s in now, and her little sister needs her for a bone marrow transplant in order to stay alive. set in Wales, 2022, Evelyn, now Bran, must find the centuries-old devil who hunts her through each life―before they find her first… figure out why she’s being hunted and finally break their curse.. oh, and try not to fall in love with the very thing destined to kill her. 



the writing in this book was beautiful. it was romantic and lyrical and its not often that i find myself unable to put a book or an audio down. there were flashbacks to previous lives that not only provided insight and helped move the story along but also had me asking even more questions about the story of Evelyn and Arden. this story also manages a nod to societal issues and changes in history such as humans affinity for war & conflict, our relationship with the earth and its resources, the dealings of mental health, and the LGBTQIA+ community (some of the more beautiful and meaningful flashbacks involved mm and ff pairings!)



and the ending? the entire last 10% of this book had me on edge. literally screaming, crying, throwing up, anxiously tapping on my kindle, furiously adjusting audio speeds, all of the above. this books ending not only destroyed me but put me back together seemingly at the same time.



i could probably go on and on for hours about this book but please just take my word for it and go read it! 



“I love you. I have loved you. I will love you.”

"and there, in a grave colder than Mars, next to the soul I'd loved for a hundred lives and lost in every one, we took our final breath beneath indifferent stars."

Well, I finished it one day.. so that's saying a lot!

This really did feel like "what if Addie LaRue loved Luc".. in the best sort of way.

Seeing them overcome everything, time and time again, to find each other was heartbreaking. With each life you get a better glimpse of their story, and the depth of time they are dealing with.

"Bravery is picking up the fear and carrying it alongside you, rather than allowing it to block the path."

Around 55% of the way through I felt it was getting a bit repetitive, but it picked up again around 75%.. then it was a speed run to the end.

So, the only thing I wish was different was if we skipped some of that section, and spent more time on the ending.

Overall, their relationship is great and Evelyn's relationships with her family members are beautiful too.

This one will probably stick with me.
