This has an interesting premise, it just didn't hook me as I hoped. I absolutely devoured the invisible life of addie larue, so I was excited by the comparison. It might have been to YA for my liking?

Our Infinite Fates was such a unique, emotional ride — part love story, part time-traveling tragedy, part mythic curse. I was totally hooked by the premise: a girl reborn across centuries, doomed to fall in love with the same person (who always ends up killing her), and trying—finally—to break the cycle before it’s too late. It's a wild mix of reincarnation, queer love, and historical settings that somehow works.

I really loved how it explored identity and fate, especially through Arden’s changing gender across lifetimes. That said, some of the flashbacks started to blur together for me. I get that the repetition was part of the point, but I found myself a little detached in those sections. I wanted more time spent developing this version of Branwen and Arden rather than relying so much on their past incarnations. The ending also felt a bit rushed.

Still, this was beautifully written, full of atmosphere, and refreshingly different from other YA fantasies. I finished it feeling both heartbroken and hopeful, which is kind of the perfect balance for a story about breaking cycles and choosing your own fate.

Wow. This book sucked me right in. I absolutely loved reading the chapters set in different places and at different historical times and meeting Evelyn and Arden’s many versions of themselves. I was so impressed with the setup and how the plot progressed.

I would’ve loved if the characters were a bit older. I wasn’t buying that these were 17 year olds. At all. In fact, I kept forgetting and then chose to ignore that part because it was totally implausible.

The last third and the climax were sort of a letdown for me. I just thought the premise of this and the poetry was so beautifully done that the big “tada” moment seemed sort of bland and uninspiring. I was just expecting more due to how amazing most of this book was.

I enjoyed this because of how well most of it worked for me. I didn’t like the ending much at all but I’m still so glad I read it.

This was an enthralling, page-turning book with a tragic premise. Once I started, I couldn't stop reading, even if I had an inkling of how it would end. Definitely recommended for the romantasy set.

Life after life Arden must kill Evelyn before she turns 18. In the present time, she is determined to break the pattern to save her sister.

The writing in this one is certainly beautiful, it was a lovely listen. I enjoyed the little vignettes of life through different times, cultures and genders. Although, after a while it felt a little repetitive without enough reveals in each life. I actually ended up putting it down and coming back to it after a long break. I was definitely surprised by the reveal when it came. The resolution seemed a little rushed in the end but was satisfying. I enjoy a book that looks at the ethics of good and evil and how it is not binary.

I don't usually do "time jumping" books but this one was well written. It was such a good book and I'm so happy I took a chance on it. Well written, nicely paced, intriguing plot and just overall a great read.

4 stars. Thank you Netgalley for this earc. This was an incredibly impactful and emotional story. The characters had so much depth and I loved how they developed and how strong their love for each other was. I’ve enjoyed her books before, and I can’t wait for her to write more!

The premise of Our Infinite Fates really intrigued me, and I was hopeful I’d love it. Unfortunately, the execution fell flat for me—too much telling and not enough showing, with characters that didn’t feel fully developed. The plot repeated itself in a way that felt more frustrating than fresh, like a magical realism spin on Groundhog Day. That said, this may resonate more with younger YA readers. I’m grateful to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC and the opportunity to read early.

I enjoyed this one overall.

Some things I liked:
- The way they didn't have to keep their same looks or gender in every reincarnation was unique.
- The different stories in different places and times in history.

Things I didn't like as much:
- There were too many past lives and at some point they lost impact. I would have rather seen more detail on the most important ones and either nothing or just quick references to other lives.
- The explanation of their reality was confusing and not well fleshed out.

Overall, if these kinds of stories are up your alley then you may enjoy this one.

A huge thank you to the author and the publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

"They've loved each other in a thousand lifetimes. They've killed each other in every one." That description absolutely hooked me in, and this book did not disappoint. That being said, I do think that the pacing of the book was too slow,w and there were some filler scenes that could have been cut to help the pace along. All in all, though, I found this book to be very enjoyable, the characters were captivating, and it met my expectations.

I actually dnf this book. I just didn’t connect with the story. I hate to leave reviews, especially arc reviews, that aren’t raving with positive feedback, but I just had a hard time settling myself in this story and connecting with the characters.

This one is a bit of a mixed bag for it. After reading the premise, I was really excited for what it could be. But then the beginning took me a while to get into, then I actually really enjoyed the middle, and it lost me again at the end. I felt like the ending went on a bit longer than necessary and kind of dragged on, but I overall enjoyed Evelyn and Arden’s story. Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the eARC!!

Evelyn has lived many lives over centuries. She’s been male and female, rich and poor; lived in the middle of nowhere or in the city; been a citizen of many countries. But never made it past just before her 18th birthday.

It’s not that she’s been unlucky to have a short lifespan; she’s been murdered. And the culprit is the same each time: Arden, whose soul is tethered to hers. As soon as one dies, the other dies as well. Arden finds Evelyn every single life by age 18, whether they grow up together or he appears just in time.

Now, Evelyn refuses to see that pattern play out again. She loves her mom and younger sister, and that younger sister has cancer and needs Evelyn’s bone marrow to live. But the bone marrow procedure is scheduled for just after Evelyn’s 18th birthday. She doesn’t know where Arden is or exactly when he’ll show up, but she is determined to convince him to let her live, for her sister’s sake.

What’s most frustrating is Arden knows why their fates are intertwined and why one of them must kill the other. But he won’t tell Evelyn. She doesn’t know or can’t remember the reason, but Arden insists it’s an extremely important one.

Oh, and Evelyn and Arden have been in love in many of their past lives. No matter who they are, their souls connect. Can they possibly stay alive past 18, and can they possibly find happiness together?

Our Infinite Fates is a mystery, a love story, a kind of thriller. It jumps around between the present and past lives, building up to a revelation that shakes Evelyn to the core. I liked it pretty well, and it definitely held my attention. It’s intense as a romance and as a mystery. I was curious to see how it would be resolved, if Evelyn could help her sister and if the two souls could actually spend a full life together. I thought it came together fairly well, but for some reason it didn’t quite strike the perfect note for me.

The book is marketed as young adult, but it doesn’t “feel” like a YA. These characters are, yes, just about to turn 18, but they really do feel older, world-weary, with all they’ve been through (as opposed to Twilight, in which Edward’s “soul”/self is over 100, but he doesn’t necessarily feel like an old soul). I suppose I’d label it a “new adult” book at the very least and maybe recommend to older readers.

Our Infinite Fates is being marketed as The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue meets This Is How You Lose the Time War, and I definitely agree, though the vibe somehow feels more like the latter. I think that’s also why this doesn’t feel as much like YA because it has a very similar feel to Time War.

A stunning love story-one that transcends time and even gender. It kind of reminded me of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab, in terms of the emotional depth and the way it plays with time and identity.

This is a ya fantasy standalone novel and let me tell I am happy with this one being a standalone novel, because Idk what the author could do with another book. But I digress I still had a great time with this one it was kind of confusing cause when I was listening to the audiobook it had chapter numbers but in the actually book it had the year of where the story takes place. If that made sense at all.
Lol, anyways Our Infinate Fates by Laura Stevens is a ya fantasy that is getting comparead to Addie Larue by VE Scwhab! Which that would make totally sense just make this one more sapphic than Addie!
I buddy read this with a group of my friends and we all had the same rating/feelings with this novel it was a quick and fun read, only issused I had was the time jumps wasn't expecting but should've with what it was being compared too. Overall rating 3.5/5 stars not my favorite but happy to have read it. Thank you Wednesday books & Netgalley for sending me the e-arc!!(:

I really loved this book. The main characters caught me right away. Loving each other through centuries and destined to die over and over. You couldn't help but root for the characters and hope they would end the curse that caused them to die over and over before reaching 18.

Not worth my time. I really wanted to love this with it being compared to Addie LaRue but it was so bad.

Our Infinite Fates was by far one of the most anticipated releases of 2025, at least in my book circles! A story of lovers who have to destroy each other in every life?? Sign me up!

Overall I really enjoyed this story. The journey through the centuries was my favorite part, almost so much that I was less entertained whenever we were back in the present day timeline 😅

The resolution at the end is where this one lost me a bit. For lack of a better word or description, it just got a little weird?? And for a curse that last millennium, for it to kind of end like it did felt… abrupt and unfitting. A duology might have been more effective to really make the lore of the curse mean more. And would’ve allowed us to get more emotionally invested in the characters.

Rated this one about 3.5 stars! It’s out now and is a STUNNING edition!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and Wednesday Books for access to this title via NetGalley!

Very beautiful! I loved that I never suspected what was going to happen or why they were caught in this loop. A very cool supernatural twist and such a romantic love story. This book is completely fine on its own. Doesn’t need a sequel or prequel or anything. Wonderful :)

Love love love! Of the synopsis of this story don’t kill you in, I don’t know what possibly could. Such a sucker for star crossed vibes.
