Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this gifted book.

I am obsessed with Evelyn and Arden’s multiple lives. It was a bunch of tragic love stories all put into their one big love story. The change in timelines and the various characters they adopted were amazing. Our Infinite Fates is incredibly unique and creative. Didn’t see that twist coming either. Wonderful fantasy.

I’ve been dying to get my hands on Our Infinite Fates—it’s easily one of my most anticipated books this year, and it absolutely delivered. Laura Steven takes the reincarnation trope and twists it into something dark, romantic, and completely addictive.

Evelyn is such a compelling protagonist. The weight of remembering every past life, knowing she’s doomed to die before eighteen, makes her desperation to break the cycle feel urgent and real. And then there’s Arden—her murderer, her soulmate, her curse. The way their relationship balances between love and destruction is so well done, constantly teetering on the edge of something dangerous.

What really stood out to me was the atmosphere. Each past life feels distinct, and Steven’s writing pulls you into every setting, from ancient ruins to modern city streets. It’s lush without being overindulgent, and the transitions between timelines are seamless.

If I had one minor complaint, it’s that I wanted even more of the mythology behind their curse. The book gives enough to keep the mystery compelling, but I wouldn’t have minded a deeper dive.

Overall, this was everything I hoped for—romantic, tragic, and beautifully written. If you love stories about fate, obsession, and love that refuses to die, Our Infinite Fates needs to be on your list.

"The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue meets This is How You Lose The Time War in this fantastical love story that defies death as two souls reincarnate through the centuries.

They've loved each other in a thousand lifetimes. They've killed each other in every one.

Evelyn can remember all her past lives. She can also remember that in every single one, she's been murdered before her eighteenth birthday by Arden, a supernatural being linked to her soul. The problem is that she's quite fond of the life she's in now, and her little sister needs her in order to stay alive. If Evelyn wants to save her sister, she'll have to 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, and try not to fall in love...again."

You can still kill the one you love, just look to Buffy.

Thank you to NetGalley and publishers for allowing me to read an ARC of this book.

I have a love for stories about cursed lovers/soulmates. Steven has a beautiful way with words that immerses the reader completely into each new segment of Evelyn and Arden's existence. Historical plots took a backseat to the main love story, but there is so much emotion poured into this book and I loved every minute of it. The author's prose is lyrical, heartbreaking, and well-paced.

Despite going through a countless number of lives together, Evelyn and Arden remain true to their core personalities. This added a nice touch of consistently between different eras. Evelyn's frustration at their ordeal was also realistic, and at times, shocking and satisfactory. Arden's internal struggle came off to be more complicated and teetered on the edge of morally gray, making way for an intriguing plot via Evelyn's POV. Their voices, and experiences, are distinct and lovely and carefully woven through time.

My few critiques are based on characters that are expunged from the story once they no longer serve a purpose. Without spoiling, I understand certain characters have a time and place, but some felt unnecessary or even tethered to the plot if they weren't already part of the "core," and thus, never mentioned again. On the flip side, other important characters could have had more of a presence throughout the story. In addition, for a secondary character, Gracie was by far my favorite because of her strong voice--she is a hilarious and welcome reprieve from the turmoil of our main characters.

Overall, this book was beautifully crafted and I can't wait for it to grace my bookshelf. Readers who have enjoyed The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and The Fallen Saga will love this book over and over and over again.

This was amazing. The concept sounded amazing but I wasn't ready for how much I would love this book. Normally when books say they are a blend of a few books I don't believe them. This one was spot on. It's got elements from The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and This is How You Lose the Time War. I loved they layout of the book as well. Not only are you experiencing the story as it unfolds you go back to Evelyn and Arden's past lives. It really makes the story so much more compelling. This is already a top book of the year for me.

Our Infinite Fates follows Evelyn and Arden, soulmates who have to die in every lifetime before their 18th birthday because of a curse.
You follow their story rotating between present day and flashes of previous lifetimes from Evelyn's perspective. She is trying to save her sister while also trying to figure out the secret Arden knows about their why they have to die. This book has some very beautiful thoughts on soulmates, love, grief and reincarnation and I really enjoyed it. I thought the gender of their souls changing throughout timelines was beautiful. No matter what they always found each other. I was surprised by what the curse is and where it originated. I am really happy with the ending we were given. I'm not sure she could've done it better.
However, this story is a little bit slower paced. I feel like the present day story is just drawn out too much.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This book drew me in right from the prologue.

Beautifully written love story that spans centuries. We follow Evelyn and Arden as they are reincarnated over thousands of years, each lifetime ending the same way…with one killing the other before they turn 18.

I found the comparison to The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue to be an accurate one so if you enjoyed that book I’d definitely recommend giving this one a try.

OK why did this book make me want to go hug every single important person in my life after reading it

This book honestly just became more and more addicting as I read it

Two people (in love) who are fated to kill eachother in every lifetime over and over again before they reach the age of 18

I swear this book just squeezed my heart the whole time, a story of love and loss

Stunning. Beautiful. Poetic. Hopeful.

I was drawn in from the very beginning of this book and even after finishing, it has yet to let me go. Evelyn and Arden carved their way into my soul with their stories, with their love. Steven has truly executed a fantastic novel here with such well-crafted plotting, prose, and characters. I'm truly astounded by how well the author actually made me feel at every moment throughout this novel.

Not one to be missed.

This book was phenomenal. I couldn’t put it down because of this love story that killed me.

The writing style of the novel was amazing. The switch between each lives, them being different in every one, and they always find their way back to each other. They’re truly soulmates in every universe, and they’re always connected.

Evelyn and Arden’s love story made me so emotional and all I wanted was for them to find their happy ending. I felt so many emotions watching them trying to get back to each other.

The stark contrasts between their personalities, but that’s what makes them whole. They truly are each other’s halves.

Overall, I loved this book so much. Something about a love story that transcends different lives just kept me locked in. This is definitely a personal favorite, and I will be rereading this when it’s released. Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!

Thank you netgalley for the opportunity to read this book as an arc
This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year so I was extremely excited to be able to read an early copy
I do think I put to many expectations into this book and it didn't meet them all the way but I had such a great time! The writting was AMAZING and I can't wait to read more from this author
If you enjoyed the invisible life of Addie larue I would really recommend you to pick this up

Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven is a great book! Very original concept and I really enjoyed the characters.

2.5 ⭐️

The description of this book sounded super intriguing and the first 15% or so of the book I was locked into the plot. But I found that as the book went on, it began to feel extremely repetitive and I wasn’t itching to pick the book up as much. It really didn’t pick up again until the 75% mark and even then, the plot twist just wasn’t my cup of tea personally. I also didn’t feel the chemistry between the two until the very end of the story and wish we would’ve got more romance throughout the story.

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.✨ Goodness gracious I loved this book! "I will find/love you in every universe" is my all time favorite trope so I knew I was going to absolutely devour this book. You follow our two characters through a millennium of time loving, hating, longing, and killing each other as they cycle through a reincarnation loop. It did get a little repetitive at times and I wish we had clues sprinkled throughout the story as opposed to one big shock at the end-- but nevertheless I truly enjoyed how unique this story and LOVED Laura Stevens lyrical writing.

Thank you SO SO much NetGalley for this ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of Our Infinite Fates!

Evelyn and Arden are fated to love each other in every life, but must kill each other before their 18th birthday. The story is told through present day and flashbacks to many of their previous lives. As you read more of their previous lives, the mystery of why they have to kill each other and how they came to be is revealed.

As one would imagine, reading about lovers killing each other over and over was heart wrenching and dark. But the love our main characters have that transcends time is beautiful and deep. If you’re looking for a fast paced fantasy - this isn’t it. It did feel repetitive at times, reliving similar lives and love stories between Evelyn and Arden, but I did find it necessary to understanding the depth of their love. The ending felt a little rushed and I wish we would have got one more chapter exploring the twist.

This has been compared to Addie LaRue, one of my favorite books of all time, and while it has similar themes, I think Our Infinite Fates is truly unique to anything I’ve ever read. If you like historical fiction and heart wrenching love stories, this is for you!

Your Book Clubs Favorite Read

Reading this book easily reminded me of how much I love literary fiction that dabbles in multiple genres, such as A Love Song for Ricki Wilde. Our Infinite Fates is a story that follows two soulmates, destined to die together again, and again, and again before they turn 18. This story has historical fiction laid throughout as we experience their love during different time periods such as the Ottoman Empire, Witch Trials, World War Two, etc, but has you questioning WHY like it’s a murder mystery. I feel like my soul is forever changed by this read, and I’ll never think of love the same way.

Thank you so much NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press (Wednesday Books) & Laura Steven for gifting my an advanced reader copy of this book, it has been truly my pleasure to experience it!

this was SOOOO INSANE!!! such a good book and i LOVED all the time jumps. The ending was CRAZY and sooo good. genuinely will think about this book all the time. READ THIS!!!

Thank you NetGalley and St Martins Press / Wednesday Books for this arc in exchange for an honest review!

2.5 stars

I really struggled with this one, but I was intrigued just enough to see it through and see how this story started and how it was going to end.

The concept of this was really interesting and I was pretty excited for it. But the execution just was not there for me. These two characters have been killing each other for 1000 years, and one of them really has no idea why. And we don't get any of that information until the end.

I wish that information would have been provided earlier as it would have helped me connect with both characters. But as it was, I had no idea why any of this was happening, and every other chapter was a snapshot of a previous life. In theory, that sounds really intriguing, but it left me not feeling any kind of connection to either character and I was getting whiplash from the constant back and forth.

It's also not ever very clear why the main character says she's so in love with the other. Why? We don't get any details on their relationship growing and developing. We're dropped right in the middle of it, and I just couldn't understand why she felt so strongly about her "soulmate" when all we really know is he keeps killing her.

So this was mostly a miss for me 😣

I love you, I have loved you, and I will love you.

A tragically poetic love story that transcends gender, space, and time. I fell in love with Evelyn and Arden in this lifetime and every lifetime before that.

My jaw was on the floor the last 20% of the books
and I’m currently sobbing and feeling all the emotions of a millennium of love and loss.

My first 5 star read of the year!

This is my first time reading a book by Laura Steven, and she certainly did not disappoint. The love story between the two main characters was tragically beautiful, spanning multiple lifetimes. The story was full of mystery that I hadn’t anticipated when I first read the description but was the main driving factor that kept me intrigued from start to finish. It added an exciting layer to the story, making it even more engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed the way she blended romance and intrigue, leaving me hooked until the very end.
