I enjoyed this despite it ultimately being a m/f romance (i know Evelyn is agender but between branwyn and dylan it was kinda just straight ), but it really could have done without a sex scene the literal moment they turned 18

Imagine having to kill or be killed by your soulmate lifetime after lifetime for the rest of eternity?
You know a book is good when it has you almost gasping for air, gripping its pages as if your life depends on it because you must. know. what. happens. next. You know a book will forever be a part of you when the emotions you experience are so intense it is as if you are LIVING THROUGH IT YOURSELF. There are so many beautiful and profound quotes about love and loss and life and death and hope and heartbreak, and I wish to etch every single one of them into the very marrow of my bones.
Laura Steven blew me away with this story about Arden and Evelyn - two souls destined in every life to die together by the hands of each other before they reach the age of 18. Spanning millennia, we follow Evelyn's narration as they live many lives and die many deaths, frustratingly eluded by the true WHY of their cursed existence. I adored the switches between timelines and places. Steven definitely did her research and expressed each historical era with such marvel and care. The multiple lives of the protagonists allow for the representation of a variety of races, religions, ethnicities, sexualities, gender identities, mental and physical disabilities, and other facets of the diverse experiences of human life. Such a rich tapestry woven from the intimacies and intricacies of humanity!
Oh Arden and Evelyn. What a life you both lived- no, what LIVES you both lived. What exponential pain and trauma and heartbreak and suffering you both experienced. But also, what transcending joy and love and tenderness and accomplishments. You'll both remain in my heart forevermore.
Our Infinite Fates will wreck and repair your heart over and over and over, leaving you with a forever changed perspective of soulmates. 100% recommend!

are you even soulmates if you haven’t been reincarnated and ritualistically killed each other every 18 years for thousands of years
i love a stand alone book that gets in, tells its story, and gets out with less than 400 pages
i must connect every piece of media with another piece of media i have watched but this book was so joe and nicky from the old guard (2020) coded
this book does something a little funky with gender and i wished the author had gone further with it

I liked the premise and idea of this one. The writing was pretty good and the poetic sentiments of existential life ponderings came across well.
Some parts were maybe not as impactful as they could have been based on where in the story we learn details. But overall it was enjoyable.
