4.5⭐️ stars rounded down for GR.

I really really really enjoyed this book!!!! But I didn't go into it expecting it to be like any of the books it is compared to, which is maybe why I enjoyed it so much?!?! Does it have some similarities to another book with regards to an individual making some sort of bargain/deal/curse to live all these years....sure. However, this story was rather unique compared to other books. The concept of why these two come in contact with one another over time in different lives is just different. The author managed to give you enough of each significant life they had with one another to shape the back-story as well as present day.

What kept it from 5 stars for me was some repetitiveness. I probably could have used a few less of the prior lives of these two.

To sum it up though....I really loved this author's writing, and I'm excited to pick up her next book!!! Also...please note that even though I had the e-Arc of the book, I also kept a pretty SE I bought of the book from a subscription box.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. SuperNatural love story yes please. I did enjoy this story very much.

I’ve been trying to write this for a few minutes and I really don’t have a lot to say. It was fine. It was very repetitive and character driven (which is something I don’t prefer) and very repetitive.

A young couple (this is probably really a YA book) are born again and again, drawn to each other in every lifetime, only for one to kill the other before their 18th birthdays. But why? Why are they doomed to die every time? That’s it. It goes through a few of their iterations, but it’s mostly one of the main characters wondering why without any kind of clues the whole time.

First, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC! The description of this book being a crossover between This Is How You Lose the Time War and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue are spot on. I did feel like the end of this book was a bit rushed, but overall I really liked the characters and how the story unfolded.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. The story was captivating, with well-developed characters, and a plot that kept me hooked from the beginning. The writing style was entertaining and engaging making it a joy to read. I'm looking forward to purchasing a copy for me personal library. Thank you to the publisher, author and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book has one of the most unique premises I’ve read in a while, and I think it really delivers on that front. The idea of Evelyn and Arden being bound together through lifetimes—sometimes as enemies, sometimes as lovers—was instantly compelling. If you read the description and it intrigues you, I’d say it’s worth picking up.

Laura Steven’s writing is gorgeous. Truly. Her lyrical, poetic style had me rereading sentences just to savor them, and that alone makes me want to pick up more of her books. The way she weaves together different timelines and historical settings felt immersive and layered, and it added so much richness to Evelyn and Arden’s story.

That said, the book was a bit uneven for me. The prologue absolutely hooked me (the intensity there was next level), but then the pacing slowed down in the first half and I found myself stalling. Things picked up dramatically around the midpoint, and from there I was fully invested—I flew through the second half. The main twist, however, didn’t quite land for me. While it was surprising, it wasn’t my favorite direction for the story, and it lowered my overall enjoyment a bit. The ending also left me mixed—I think this works best as a standalone, even if some readers may wish for more.

What kept me engaged throughout, though, were the characters and themes. Evelyn and Arden are deeply flawed but so easy to root for, and the exploration of queerness and fluidity in their relationship was beautifully handled. The emotional depth really shines in their love story, even when it’s painful.

Overall, I’d rate this 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 because the writing is just that stunning. If you enjoyed The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue or Divine Rivals, you’ll likely love this one. It’s romantic, heartbreaking, and sweeping in scope. Even though some parts didn’t fully work for me, I’ll absolutely be picking up more by Laura Steven—her talent is undeniable.

The chapters are short, so this book is very easy to read. The story is written in an alternating past vs present timelines so we see Evelyn and Arden fall and regret and try to escape fate, yet always kills each other. I liked both the present day and the past storylines, but I can see why people enjoyed the past lives better. It’s always exciting to see how different yet the same both of them are; no matter their gender and race and time, their hearts and souls are the same. Meanwhile, the present timeline lost its excitement once we got confirmation who Arden is in this life. I think the writing was beautiful, but can be flowery and repetitive that I skim some parts especially once I got passed the halfway mark. I wished I get more connections with either Arden or Evelyn, but unfortunately it didn’t really hit deep for me.

This was pretty mid. Not my favorite fantasy but not the worst either. I’d say give jt a chance and add it to your TBR!

This was such a fascinating idea for a fantasy, I was hooked. I’m not a big fantasy reader but this was right up my alley and I really enjoyed it.

Evelyn and Arden are doomed to love and kill each other over and over across the last thousand years, respawning after each death into a new life only to die before they each turn 18. Evelyn has never known why she is subjected to such a fate and she knows Arden holds more knowledge than he cares to let on. Finally, it takes a terminally ill sister reliant on a bone marrow transplant to force Evelyn to truly want this time to break the cycle.

I am always a sucker for an ill-fated romance trope. Add in a reincarnation story trope and I'm hooked. What I loved most about this book is even though it is supposed to be a love story between the two main characters, the love story is mainly about Evelyn and how she completely loves each and every family she is born into and wants to protect them at all costs and save them from the devastation that she knows her death will cause. I loved how the flashbacks started with the most recent past life and gradually made their way back to the beginning of her and Arden's story, giving little clues with each iteration about what is truly going on and why Arden is so hell bent on killing Evelyn before she turns 18.

Despite the awesome line of, "I love you, I have loved you, I will love you", the actual romance between the two main characters, I have to admit fell a bit flat. I understood more Arden's love for Evelyn than obviously hers as someone who is repeatedly subjected to violence from him. I just could not understand what she was attracted to, besides his powers of poetic persuasion. Regardless, this one had a satisfying ending and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

For fans of Everyday and stories of reincarnation. Spice level is mild (2) and I would firmly place this more as a New Adult book with sexual themes and heavy violence than strict YA.

Thank you to NetGalley, Wednesday Books, and Laura Steven for an advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this copy of Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven!

This book has such a unique premise, and it definitely delivers in that area. If you read the description and think it sounds interesting, I recommend you give it a try. Laura Steven has a beautiful writing style that I genuinely enjoyed so much. I absolutely have to check out more of her work because she has an amazing way with words. That is very evident from Our Infinite Fates. Her strong writing was the best part of the book.

For me, the actual story is one I'd rate 3.5 stars- rounding up because I adored the writing style so much. I liked the majority of the book. Evelyn and Arden are characters I was happy to root for through their lifetimes. But ultimately the main twist wasn't my favorite. It really lowered my enjoyment for the story a lot. And I didn't love the ending overall. I definitely think this book should be left as a stand alone. That being said, that's just how I felt. I'm sure the twist would be a favorite for others. If you read YA romances and fantasy and enjoy sad and angsty books, I think Our Infinite Fates is worth a read. I still plan to give other books by Laura Steven a shot because she is truly a talented and creative author, something that was very clear in this book.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book, however, was a complete miss for me. The writing, the characters... none of it was what I expected it to be. The characters did not feel real at all, and the love story felt better as ideas and we were supposed to view them more as mirages than actual characters within the narrative. None of them felt fleshed out. Like I truly felt like this book was just one big compilation of "web weaving" images for a text post on Twitter, all under the premise of "Meeting each other in infinite lifetimes". That's not to say Lauren Steven's writing isn't beautiful—it really is, but on a line level. I think that she has a lot to room to grow as a storyteller, and I think that maybe it could just be as a result of this story she wanted to tell? But I'm not sure. I'll have to see what her next YA project brings.

I didn’t not like this book… it just wasn’t for me. The premise was a bit repetitive which got a bit boring after a while. Still a sweet, easy read and good for anyone wanting to dip their toes into fantasy.

If you liked The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, you will love this book. The writing in this book is so lyrical and poetic. I found myself reading certain sentences again just because of how beautiful they were. I loved the different flashbacks (and forward) in all of the different time periods. I really felt like I was transported to that time. This is a beautiful love story with such complex characters and emotions. I would definitely recommend this book. I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

These Infinite Fates by Laura Steven is an absolutely stunning read. The prose is lush, vivid, and deeply immersive — every page feels carefully crafted, pulling you straight into the heart of the story. I fell in love with the writing style immediately; it’s descriptive without being overwhelming, perfectly balancing atmosphere and emotion.

The love story is beautifully woven and heartfelt, but what surprised me most was how impactful the secondary storyline about family was. There’s an emotional depth to the relationships that makes the book resonate beyond the central romance, adding richness and weight to the narrative.

That said, as much as I adored the writing and characters, it didn’t quite give me full five-star vibes. Something intangible kept it from crossing that threshold — maybe pacing, maybe a few beats that didn’t land as powerfully as I wanted them to — but it’s still an excellent, memorable read that I’d absolutely recommend.

If you love lyrical storytelling, layered relationships, and romance infused with heart and meaning, this one is worth picking up.

This was SO GOOD!!!!!
I absolutely loved the mystery behind Evelyn and Arden’s curse and the reveal was surprising and different from what I’m used to.
The historical element- learning stories from so many past lives- we really intriguing and added layer upon layer of depth to their love story.
The exploration of gender (or lack of!) and casual queerness was also really lovely to read.

If you loved Divine Rivals, this one is for you! So many things I loved about DR exist in this world too and I can’t wait to recommend it to everyone!!!

Our Infinite Fates was an interesting read that balanced moments of excitement with a few slower stretches. I appreciated the imaginative world building and the unique twists, though some parts felt a bit uneven to me. Overall, it’s a story with potential that kept me curious enough to keep turning the pages.

Okay I’m giving this a 3/3.5 which makes me so sad bc this was my most anticipated read of the year. When the author was giving teasers with an “exile” twist on everything I was sold. I was confused some of the time, the first half I felt I was mainly intrigued and then it got slow for me. Overall still so happy I read this.

Thank you NG!

This one was up and down for me in the first half. The prologue had me feral and hooked: enemies to lovers to the point where they kill each other in every single timeline? SOLD. But then I started the book and it was a lot slower than I thought it was going to be, and around the 30% mark I started to stall. I was struggling to pick up the book, I kept putting it off, and I kept waiting for the pacing to pick up to the point where I felt like the characters’ tension had me locked in. That came around the 60-65% mark of the book, when more of the backstory was revealed, and then I raced through the remainder of the book in about three hours. The writing is beautiful and expansive and sweeping, and I am so excited to go through other books by Stevens (I’m looking at you, Silvercloak). Highly recommend if you can be patient for it to pick up and get lost in the beautiful characters. 4 strong ⭐️s
