This book honestly surprised me so much. I did not expect to love it as much as I do and I really loved this book.
I usually go into books without knowing what they're about because I forget after adding them to my tbr and once I started to understand what the plot of this one was, I knew it was either going to be really good or overly melodramatic and I'm so happy that it was the former.
This is a story about soulmates in the truest sense of the word. The one person that you find in every life, the one person that just understands you on a soul-deep level. That kind of love is what this book is about and it was done so perfectly.
And I did fall in love with the characters and their love. I adored the multiple timelines laying out their many stories. I loved watching them slowly fall in love with each other despite having to kill each other. It was truly beautifully done.
And I specifically loved that this author wasn't afraid of portraying the queer sides of this kind of story. It's unrealistic for them to always be a man and a woman and I'm so glad that this author didn't shy away from that reality and in fact made them basically as queer as possible and it was beautiful to see.
Like I said before, I love everything about this book and I definitely recommend it. Especially for those who enjoyed Addie La Rue because this has a very similar vibe.

DID NOT FINISH: 23%

She sounds so young. She’s about to turn 18, and she’s lived so many lives. I just don’t believe it. I would have thought this book felt young if it was a standard contemporary, let alone a fantasy about a woman caught in an endless cycle of reincarnation

This one took me QUITE sometime to finish, but it was worth it in the end. The writing about love in this book truly gives me hope that LOVE conquers all and is more powerful than anything. I do feel like the ending was a bit rushed, and it was kind of out of left field. If you love.. love you’ll love this book. hahaha

Oh, to be a devil that runs a pyramid scheme <3

This book has a really interesting premise that I’m not convinced it 100% delivered on. I think it could have really benefited from becoming a two-part series at minimum to balance out the plot with the romance. The book spends a long time telling us that they’re so in love, but doesn’t spend nearly as much time to explain why to warrant all the drama surrounding them. Just because you keep shouting in my ear that two characters are soulmates, doesn’t mean I’m going to believe you. This is supposedly a cosmically bound love story that spans lifetimes, but in reality it’s not a better love story than Twilight.

That aside, the pacing of the story is really odd and the last 20% was really jarring. What do you mean everything is resolved in like 20 pages when the book is 300+ pages?

Overall a decent book, but nothing spectacular.

Two people, their lives entwined over thousands of years. Soulmates or forced together by fate? If this is love, why must they kill each other before their 18th birthday's each time they start their new life? In this current life, in 2022 Evelyn must save her sister before her time runs out - but will Arden let it happen?

Our Infinite Fates contained everything I love, beautiful writing (not overly written but still rich and gorgeous), a plot that kept me guessing and turning the pages as quickly as possible, and a romance fuelled with yearning over their forbidden desires.

If you liked Addie La Ru or Divine Rivals, I would definitely recommend this one. Although if you are looking for a full romantasy/fantasy plot, please change your expectations because this is definitely not that. A character driven love story full of mystery and tense moments is what you will find here - and I loved every second.
