Our Infinite Fates is a beautifully written, emotionally rich novel that left me both captivated and contemplative. Laura Steven's writing style is nothing short of poetic—each line feels intentional, lyrical, and deeply immersive.
The narrative plays with time in a bold, repetitive loop that at first felt a bit tedious. But as the story unfolded, I realized how purposeful this structure was. The repetition mirrors the characters’ lived experience across a thousand years, evoking their exhaustion, their hope, and the near-impossible persistence of love over centuries. It’s a storytelling choice that makes you feel the weight of time in a way that’s rare in fiction.
What truly sets this book apart is the love story. This isn’t your typical romance—it’s a portrayal of soulmates written with such intensity and tenderness that it feels entirely original. The emotional connection between the characters is raw, enduring, and unforgettable.
While I didn’t predict the ending—and I appreciated being surprised—the final act did feel slightly rushed. It didn’t diminish my enjoyment, but I would’ve loved just a bit more room for the resolution to breathe.
The only reason this isn’t a full 5-star read for me is personal: it didn’t quite break me emotionally. I didn’t sob, but I felt—and maybe that’s even more powerful. The story took me through a whirlwind of emotions, and for that, I’ll remember it for a long time.
If you’re looking for a love story that transcends time and convention, and prose that sings off the page, Our Infinite Fates is a journey worth taking.
