Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven was a great audiobook. It was entertaining and it kept my attention. The narrator was great! A very romantic and emotional book but still fun.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Net Galley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Our Infinite Fates is a tragic love story. It broke my heart over and over again. I enjoyed getting to know the characters through all their "lives". I thought the story was interesting the way it unfolded. The writing was beautiful with poetry mixed in. If you enjoy and gripping love story then give it a read.

2.5 rounded up to 3.

Honestly, I expected so much more from this. From the way it was promoted, I was looking forward to some big sweeping fantasy, and instead was deeply surprised to be confronted by a rather quiet one.

Although it had moments of genius, heart, and hope, it was shockingly dull at times. The timeline slips back and forth between the present incarnation and each past life at the moment before their deaths. But for a such an important part of the story, they didn't seem to add much. It was just an introduction of seemingly "new" characters we won't see again, having the same three conversations recycled over and over, along with the deeply annoying answer of "I can't tell you" every time she asked why must you kill me.

What tipped me off the scale of enjoying this *was* the "why" of it all. I genuinely did not like the explanation and it honestly didn't make much sense to me. The writing style was also a touch annoying. A lot of "It was adjective. An adjective. A noun. An adjective."

I do deeply appreciate the queer element that was added to this though. It was thoughtfully done and very welcome.

This was my introduction to this author but I don't think I'll read more from her.

The narrator for this deeply romantic story really brought the emotional depth.

Evelyn and Arden are trapped in some kind of curse where they have loved eachother over many lifetimes but have always killed one another before or on their 18th birthdays. The book explores many of these lives and relationships while coming back to present day. I loved the longing and anguish, Steven’s really nails these components and I could feel the deep love these characters had for one another and their deep pain.

I needed a tad more plot and a I think the explanation is the why could of been developed more but I deeply enjoyed it nonetheless.

I’ve seen this book all over social and was intrigued by the premise. I was excited to receive the audiobook arc and started it shortly after getting it. I liked the concept and the current (2022) time storyline, however, I wish it spent more time there than so many other short flashbacks. I understand why there were so many flashbacks and the importance they have on developing the characters and their relationship, but I felt they dragged the momentum down.

The audiobook narrator did a wonderful job brining voice to this story and our main character. They did not make many different "voices" but I could keep track of who was speaking.

I thought this book squarely fit into the new adult age bracket. While this book checks a lot of boxes I enjoy reading the execution did not leave me enjoying the story overall. The writing was fantastic but didn't lead me to anything meaningful. The characters, I did not get enough of. The setting could have been explored a bit more as well as the plot. The plot left me with more questions than answers. I didn't really get a resolution to the secondary main plot point. I did not understand their initial draw to each other and that is what I ultimately wanted.

I did enjoy the flashbacks but wished we spent a bit more time developing a few of the areas we land in, it began to feel repetitive. While the characters float through different bodies over the centuries it felt like a cheat out to only have them truly connect while they were stereotypically more digestible. I just wish more of the "unique" aspects of this were fleshed out to make a more cohesive book.

I was super invested in this book and the perpetual starting again only to die in the same awful cycle loving and then losing and/or being betrayed by that love. I thought the narration was very well done and I definitely didn’t see the “reason” coming. I really enjoyed this book.

I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I was literally bored to tears. I had to stop the book at 16%. It was like repeating the same thing over in different ways. My heart was hoping this would have been so much more.

The narrator had such a lovely voice and was telling the story so well. it's just the story itself I could NOT get into.

Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven, release date 03/04/25

This is a magical enemies to lovers story, in every setting and timeline throughout history, spanning from hundreds of years ago, to the present.

There are infinite lives for Evelyn and Arden, and they are raised almost as siblings. They find each other in every life and love each other in every lifetime. Evelyn chased answers, trying to postpone the inevitable death that will come in every lifetime before 18th birthday. Evelyn remembers death in every life eventually. Fate cruelly stole their childhood in every lifetime. She has the power to cure disease but the family member will suffer in pain.

Why would he continue to kill her before her 18th birthday? Was it revenge, curses, a killing addiction, black magic or a deal with a devil?

It’s is a long story to discover Evelyn’s fate and the reason why she dies in every lifetime. It’s more déjà vu with magic. It was an alright read but it was very drawn out. I listened to about 78% of the book while she wonders why Arden kills her in every lifetime and the reveal was so subtle and lacked any drama what-so-ever. I felt let down in that moment.

Audiobook narrator did a beautiful job.

#NetGalley #OurInfiniteFates

Thank you to NetGalley, the Author and Publisher for an ARC of Our Infinite Fates. This has been one of my top anticipated reads for this year so far. Over all I enjoyed this book. I liked how it alternated between the past and the present time to show the characters pasta and how they ended up in the never ending cycle of love and death between one another. One thing I didn’t like is that you don’t really get a feel for why they love each other. In the flash back chapters you just see them killing each other and I kept asking myself why they were in love even though the MFC would state it. It just didn’t feel genuine.

The narration of this story was great. I enjoyed the audiobook and would recommend a listen.

Wow. Our Infinite Fates is a love story like no other, and I cannot begin to describe how beautiful this novel truly is. The mystery of why the plot took place mixed with flashbacks across time kept me absolutely entranced until the very end. The writing is filled with such beauty that I would pause just to wonder how someone could create a string of words that would evoke such bone-deep emotion in me. Throughout Our Infinite Fates, I thought about mortality and love, and I cried several times thinking about the souls I feel I am intertwined with. If I can convince you to read any book, let it be this one.

Narration by Sofia Oxenham was incredible. 10/10

I received an ARC and ALC from St. Martin's Press | Wednesday Books and Macmillan Audio | Macmillan Young Listeners via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve had an Addie LaRue sized whole in my heart for some time and Our Infinite Fates may have finally filled that gap. I loved the entire premise of this book. I mean how can you not be captivated when the MCs find love and then death in every timeline. I also enjoyed the blending of past and present timelines. This gives readers another look at the characters and allows us to understand them a little more each time. I found the twist at the end to be interesting although predictable. I do wish we got to spend more time with the villain of the story to make that portion more impactful. So much of this story is on the epic love between the two MCs that it’s easy to forget there’s a villain mixed in. While I think Sofia Oxenham did well with the actual narration of the story, I struggled a bit with the audiobook. This story as a whole is a slower pace, so with that, I had to keep bringing my focus back to the story. The emotion and depth Oxenham brought to the characters was spot on, I just think this one would’ve been a better full eyeball read for me personally.

Such beautiful love start that spans across Centuries

They loved each other in every lifetime but they killed each other every time

Full review on my TT/ IG

This book is marketed as Addie LaRue meets how to lose a time war. Addie LaRue is my soul book so I immediately requested the ARC. I see some similarities but this book is completely unique. I feel like it is best to go into this one blind so I won’t go into too much detail. The writing is achingly beautiful and the angst! It hurts so good. I loved the audiobook. The narrator does such a great job. Highly recommend the audio for this one.

Wow!! What an interesting story! I don’t think I’ve ever read anything like this.

Evelyn is always murdered right before her 18th birthday. She can remember all her past lives. I can’t even imagine how crazy that must feel to remember your past lives. How frustrating to not make it past 18. Who keeps hunting Evelyn? Will she able to find this devil so she can stay alive and help her little sister! The writing in this book is beautiful. I really enjoyed listening to the audio book. I think the narrator did a wonderful job!

Thank you so much NetGalley, Laura and Macmillan Audio for the E-ALC!

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for allowing me the change to review this audio book.

I never ended up reading Addie LaRue but based on the bits of knowledge I have about it; Our Infinite Fates will be a hit with lovers of LaRue. World building was not needed in this book, it was 100% character driven. You easily fall in love with the FMC and her story. My only complaint was not getting a little more insight on Arden and his POV, but that also left it mysterious in way until about 80% of the way through. This is more Romance than anything IMO and truly a tragic romance at that many times over. I enjoyed this story and what it brought at the end. Will highly recommend to fantasy and romance lovers.

A well crafted magical tale with romance at the centre. Think, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue meets Divine Rivals.

I was actually shocked when I found out this was YA. Like sure, our characters never get past the age of 18, but the nuance and beauty of this story is so encapsulating. I love the trope of multiple lives and fated love, and Laura Steven pulled it off wonderfully.

Like c'mon how can you not read a book when the tagline is "They've loved each other in a thousand lifetimes. They've killed each other in every one." INTRIGUE!!!

Read if you enjoy:

Poetic and beautifully written books
Timeline jumps split between past and present day
The hunter vs hunted components
Rich culture and historical components
If you were a fan of the Addie Larue book and enjoy similar vibes with a different plot

The plot for “our infinite fates” is definitely a unique one! I absolutely loved the concept and once reading the synopsis I knew this was a book I wanted to try for myself.

This book definitely isn’t perfect by any means however I think if you go in with an open mind and you want to an enjoy an interesting and unusual story written eloquently and allow yourself to be enthralled by the big picture story of the two main characters whilst enjoying the ride and the vibes then you will have a fun and memorable time reading.

This book definitely takes you away from the rinse and repeat tropes we can get within the fantasy and magical realism genres so it was a nice change of pace with an author who had something new to say.

Thank you to the publisher and author the providing me with an ALC!

Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven is a phenomenal romance that reminds us to love fearlessly. Lovers are reborn, life after life, ending in tragedy when one kills the other before their 18th birthday. Evelyn, in her current life, has a greater reason to live. It's not just her life at stake. Can she escape Arden and live this time?

I loved this love story and hearing about all the lives they've lived before. It felt like all of humanity was connected through these two souls. Many different peoples and time periods were represented through flashbacks/memories that made the story more believable. The more fantastical/fantasy aspects of the story really heightened the love story and made me love the characters more!

The ending was extremely satisfying. I was nervous because often I feel like the 'why' this is happening can fall flat for me. Unique setups where something re-occurs is a very challenging storyline to stick the landing, and Steven blew me away! It's worth the read and one I will absolutely re-read!

I absolutely adore the UK Cover (pictured in the post). Waterstone has sold out of their special edition, but you may be able to get a signed Indie Special Edition before this book releases March 4th!

4.5/5⭐️

“Muse is too simple a word for what I feel for you.”

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

“We only truly exist in the relation of th e people we love.”

“If a hero is someone who would give up love to save the world, then a villain is the reverse. Someone who would give up the world the save love.”



Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this ARC, all thoughts are my own!


Yes yes yes yes!!!!!! I ate this shit up so fast. I recently read Tje Invisible Life of Addie LeRue and adored it, however I saw this book recommended by the author on TikTok months ago so to get this ARC I was truly giddy. Boooooooy did it deliver.

The yearning, pain, love, and just depth of emotion this book is able to portray is insanity. The flash backs to past lives brought me to tears multiple times. The representation of parts of history through all parts of the world was incredible, and felt so natural. Along with the queer representation. I loved the conversation our characters have about how they felt in each body, each life, and how connected they felt to their bodies versus to their souls.

My only complaint (more of a nitpick) and the reason I can’t quite give 5 stars, is this book was very heavy on the emotional connections, emotional flashbacks of tragic parts of history, to a very fantasy ending. No spoilers, but I wished there was a more fitting ending if that makes sense? The very end was DEVASTATING don’t get me wrong, I legitimately cried, but it felt slightly too YA with how the reasoning they are sucked into this situation is portrayed.

The narrator on this book was a literal god of a woman and her inflection scratches something so nice in my brain✨
