I absolutely adored this book! The premise is SO interesting and heartbreaking. I couldn't put this down. There is so much love and pain and loss, tied up in gorgeous prose. Getting a glimpse into so many different lives over different times was great, but the way the different bodies were done took it over the top. The queerness that flowed through the story was amazing! The love in this story was so powerful. A love that truly transcends time, place, body, gender, etc etc etc. The realest most raw soul mates. I can't stop thinking about this one.

The narrator, Sofia Oxenham was excellent. Such a pleasant voice to listen to, and great quality narration and sound.
4.5/5

Vibes of "Animation Games" by Olivie Blake, The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.

A beautiful story depicting love spanning many centuries. The story left me wondering what would happen next and put the cause of the main character’s anguish was.

Beautiful book about the power of love and how it triumphs even under the most dire circumstances. The storyline was very original and keeps the reader invested.

First off, I want to thank Net gallery to access to this arc! I was very excited when I saw I got approved!

I am giving this book a 3.75! I definitely want to reread this in physical from at some point because I am a big believer in audiobooks and physical being 2 different experiences!

I definitely very much enjoyed this audiobook but there were times where I got bored and spaced out or I heard/ though I heard the book jump forward a little and I got confused.

I very much loved the book concept and by the end of this book I was in love and was left wanting more of this story!! I 100% recommend this book and can't wait to get my hand on a physical copy when it comes out!

I was not expecting to be sobbing in my kids’ school car line while reading this magical story, but here we are.

Laura Steven has truly rendered me speechless with her lyrical and enchanting prose and deeply romantic, epic storytelling. This story was unlike any I have ever read and what a gift it was to bear witness to a love that transcends time and space and defies the laws of logic.

The audiobook narration had a HOLD on me and I could NOT stop listening. I kept finding things to do in order to keep it playing because I simply had to find out what happened to these lovers.

This story is so unique, ethereal, and wholly bewitching. I will be thinking of these characters for a long while!

This audiobook was MAGICAL. I love a good star crossed lovers trope & this was perfect! I thought the current timeline & past lifetime chapters were so cohesive and really brought the story to life. It’s definitely a solid YA story. It’s a 4 star for me because I wished there was a little** more depth to their actual love story, but overall the author still made their emotions so real!!

The narrator was also so good for Evelyn’s character and I felt like she did a terrific job voicing this story!

I was excited to receive this ALC because the plot sounded so unique. I think the writing was beautiful and the narrator was perfect for this story. However, I didn’t feel anything for our 2 main love interests. We were more so told that they love each other, rather than shown if that makes sense which made it difficult to feel invested in the story. It was also on the slower side and after awhile I was hoping for things to pick up. Overall, enjoyable but not my favorite. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy.

I was excited to receive this as an ALC! Nothing could have prepared me for this book. Absolutely loved!

This book is similar to The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle (FMC shares a name). I had so many questions I wrote down throughout reading--why do they have to kill each other? What happens if they don't? Why does Arden love Evelyn? EVERY QUESTION GOT ANSWERED. In no way did I guess what the answers were. I was SCREAMING at the plot twist. My first reaction was, "Did they just Good Place me??" IYKYK.

This book also offers a fascinating commentary on gender identity, as the characters are reincarnated in both genders. They live incredibly fascinating lives but also suffer horrific loss.

The twist did twist on itself! What in the Freida McFadden. Arden and Evelyn's love story is epic and absolutely makes sense now.

Favorite quote: "Love can make a villian of anyone".

Review will be posted on my booksta, toomanyfivestarreads, closer to pub date.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the audiobook ARC of Our Infinite Fates in exchange for an honest review.

A story about two people that are destined to kill each other and then again in the next life. Over and over again. And they happen to love each other. Sounds like a good time to me and it was! Beautifully written and endearing. The end felt a bit rushed and open ended but it’s left me thinking about it days later.

I've now read the e-book, and listened to the audio book and my god, a book has not been able to make me weep like this in so long.

As I've said before, it was tragic and lovely and I did not think I would like this book this much. And now? I see this being my favorite book of the year and possibly in my top ten book of all time. It's perfect. I feel like I'm never going to find something quite this special.

To Simon/Alisha Misfit fans, Tsubasa fans, Your Name Fans, Greek Tragedy fans, to those who love "come-back-to-me" tropes? This is a love letter for you.

I liked the narrator I just wish Arden's voice sounded a bit different from Evelyn's, it just wasn't different enough, but still that is a perfect book. Easiest 5 star book of my life.

Thank you NetGalley and especially you St. Martin's Press for the Audio-ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

4.5 ⭐️ Wow, I loved this book so much! If you’re a fan of Divine Rivals, character driven, slow burn, romantasy stories that happens to be YA but is poetically and beautifully written then please pick this up.

This book is single POV, written in non-linear timelines (past lives and present) that follows the story of Evelyn and Arden, two fated lovers who have lived hundreds of lives over a millennia and in each life they are pulled together only to kill one another before they turn 18. In present day, Evelyn is desperately trying to break the killing cycle to stay in this life so she can save her dying sister with a bone marrow transplant. The story weaves together slowly and towards the middle it felt repetitive but I loved the glimpses of history, culture and love/hate woven into each story. I really enjoy short chapters, which can feel somewhat choppy but this is YA, if it was an adult romantasy I would have wanted this to go deeper and darker but it’s not and it was still perfect. I loved that Evelyn and Arden’s reincarnated souls transcended gender, societal class and all continents of the world. You don’t get the traditional swoony love story, you are told these two love each other but over the many lives they have lived you are shown the unending tragedy of their fates. To me that is so much deeper, to know love and to have it constantly ripped apart for unknown reasons. I did not see the end “twist” coming and I ate up the last 20% of this book - I never wanted it to end.

I was graciously gifted an audiobook copy by MacMillan Audio and I do think audio is the way to go with this one. It was beautifully narrated by Sofia Oxenham. I loved that she gave Evelyn the perfect amount of childhood innocence but also the grit of an old soul who has in fact experienced many lives. It is sometimes hard for me to listen to single POV stories but she nailed not only Evelyn but Arden as well.

Thank you again to MacMillan Audio and Netgalley for the ALC in exchange for my honest review.

What a beautifully tragic story of fated loves.

I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

At the beginning of the book, two young lovers are getting married. and then...BOOM... A MURDER! My heart was so wrecked for Evelyn and Arden from the first chapter. They loved each other so much, literally across time. Immortal and doomed to succumb tragically, their souls will find each other in every reincarnation. However, for some reason, Arden kills Evelyn, and she just wants to love him and live their lives together and raise children and grandchildren together.

This world was so amazingly written that I was invested in the story of Arden and Evelyn! The timeline jumps were made seamlessly and always give the reader a little bit more, opening the story like a flower bloom. THE END!! OMG!! It was not what I expected at all. I really enjoyed this book.

I also had the pleasure of having the audiobook, so the ability to read in tandem enveloped me in this very interesting world. The narrator, Sofia Oxenham, was so moody, and I ate her up! I loved the emotion she brought to the characters. She kept the weight of the book throughout. Great job!

Thank you, Netgalley, Macmillan Audio | Macmillan Young Listeners, and Laura Stevens, for the ALC of this beautiful book.

I’m going to start out by saying that I’ve seen this book compared to The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab which I do think is a very solid comparison, and those who are fans of that book will likely like this book.
In the story we follow Evelyn as she tries desperately to live long enough to save her younger sister before she is inevitably killed by Arden. Evelyn and Arden have been reincarnated for thousands of years and always inevitably kill one of the other shortly before they turn 18.

It’s an interesting take on a reincarnation story and the writing is very lyrical and poetic. The mystery of why that pervades through the story was compelling enough to keep me invested for the 80% of the book it took to get to the answers. I will say with the amount of mystery and build up to that reveal I found it, and the eventual end somewhat disappoint, I know others will likely love it but it wasn’t to my taste.

This is the second Audio book I’ve listened to narrated by Sofia Oxenham and I’ve loved her narration in both, she does a wonderful job imbuing a vulnerability into Evelyn that makes the whole experience more compelling. My one complaint is that I did experience some audio stuttering issues, and cut out during a few points during the book, I’m unsure if this is a glitch on my end or an issue with the audio file itself.


Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book for a fair and honest review.

3-stars
Thank you, Macmillan Audio, and Netgalley for the audiobook ARC!
Our two main characters are fated to each other for eternity, throughout endless lifetimes, but it’s not so simple as living happily ever after until death. Each time they find each other in a new lifetime, they must hunt and kill each other before their 18th birthdays.

The audiobook narrator for this story had a voice just as poetic and lovely as the words she was reading, and I was eagerly engaged for the first 50% of the book. The way the story jumped between various timelines, giving us a glimpse of the characters histories together sucked me in from page one.

All of that being said, I wish I had loved it more. I never fully connected to the characters and their predicament the way I was hoping to, which I think came from the short amount of time we spent with them during their different reincarnations. I wanted more chemistry between them to really understand their situation, but by the time my questions were answered we were at the end of the book, and I was left wanting more. By the end I felt myself saying, “what was it all for?”

The themes and premise were fascinating, and the writing was elegant and poetic, and I’ll definitely recommend this book to those I think will like it, because I know people are going to love it!

I really enjoyed this book! It reminded me a lot of The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab, but it was not a direct copy of that story. I thought that the use of multiple viewpoints throughout time, from past versions of the character, suited the narrative well and helped to shape the story. I also enjoyed the narrator's use of voice and pacing. Lastly, I enjoyed the various cultures and genders that were represented by the characters throughout time-- I thought that having the characters change location and gender dynamics throughout their reincarnations was a nice touch to the story and helped to give it a unique twist to other reincarnation stories I have read in this genre. I have already pre-ordered a copy of this one, and I am excited to recommend it to others!

This was a beautiful story and a very enjoyable read. It had a similar feeling to The Secret Life of Addie LaRue. The book spans a large amount of time. Overall, the themes of the book were very introspective and with big thoughts and feelings on life, love, and what it means to be human. I'd recommend this to pretty much any type of reader!

I listened to the audiobook version of this book. I enjoyed the narration. I didn't have any issues understanding the reader, even with her accent.

Thank you to Laura Steven, Macmillan Audio , and NetGalley for the ARC!

I enjoyed this book and really enjoyed Laura’s writing. It definitely gave me Addie LaRue vibes so if you enjoyed that, I would give this one a try! The plot twist towards the end absolutely caught me off guard and really took the story to the next level.

I did feel like because we were jumping lives so much, it was hard to feel connected to the FMC & MMC. I was not invested in their romance. I wish we could have gotten to know a few of the lives a bit longer to build that connection with them. I think that would have taken this to a 5 ⭐️ book for me.

I really enjoyed the narrator.

Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio for an ALC in exchange for my honest review!

When I saw this compared to Addie LaRue, I was super intrigued and had to give it a go. It definitely has some similarities, but I didn’t feel the emotional impact I was hoping for. The story bounces between the present and their past lives, but I wish the past chapters were longer— I think that would’ve helped me connect with the characters more. Also, I feel like the author should’ve explained the curse right off the bat; it would’ve made everything a little clearer. The pacing felt a bit slow at times too. That said, the narrator did an awesome job with the voices and kept me engaged.

It’s official—Laura Steven is now on my auto-buy author list! In the past month, I’ve been lucky enough to receive advanced copies of both of her 2025 books, and I absolutely fell in love with both of them. After finishing Silvercloak, I immediately requested Our Infinite Fates, and I’m so glad I did.

This book is a breathtaking mix of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and This Is How You Lose the Time War, delivering a fantastical love story that spans lifetimes. Evelyn remembers every one of her past lives—along with the brutal truth that in each one, she’s been murdered before her eighteenth birthday by Arden, a supernatural being whose survival is tied to her own. But in this life, Evelyn has something to fight for: her little sister, who depends on her for bone marrow transplants. Determined to break the cycle, she sets out to uncover why she’s being hunted and—against all odds—tries not to fall in love along the way.

Steven is an incredibly talented writer. Both books had me hooked from the very beginning—I didn’t want to put them down, and I definitely didn’t want them to end. Our Infinite Fates made me fall in love while also breaking my heart with every chapter and timeline. The emotional depth and tension were beautifully executed. The twist at the end wasn’t exactly what I expected, but I still really enjoyed it, especially with how the final chapter wrapped up.

For this read, I had the chance to listen to the audiobook version, narrated by Sofia Oxenham. She did a phenomenal job bringing the story to life, and with Macmillan Audio producing it, I knew I was in for a great experience. Everything they touch is gold.

Final thoughts: If Laura Steven writes it, I’m going to read it. If Macmillan Audio produces the audiobook, I’m going to listen. Huge thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the advanced copy!

WOW !!! I loved this book so much ! The narrator to this audiobook did a great job bringing this story to life. It was such a unique storyline. The writing was astoundingly lyrical and just so beautiful. I need to read a physical copy of this book next so I will be able to highlight all the amazing quotes. The love and longing between the main characters spanning throughout the centuries was so well written. I could not stop listening. I highly recommend giving this one a read.

Thank you Netgalley and Macmillian Audio for the audiobook in exchange for my honest review.
