I really liked the core concept of Our Infinite Fates—the whole idea of multiple lives playing out across different realities was cool and gave the book a kind of short story vibe, which worked well in some places. A few of the stories, were genuinely gripping and memorable

I partially liked the asylum lifeline

. But the majority felt a bit repetitive or too similar to one another, which didn’t really push the plot forward and made parts of the book drag.

The writing itself also left a bit to be desired. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that used the words "feral" and "ferocious" quite so much—They popped up so often that they started to stand out in a distracting way, which pulled me out of the story now and then.

Then there’s the ending. Honestly, I wasn’t a fan. It felt incredibly left field and didn’t seem to be seeded into the story at all—not even subtly. It just kind of came out of nowhere and didn’t feel earned, which was disappointing after sticking with it for so long.

Overall, this felt like a classic case of a strong idea at the start, but the execution didn’t quite live up to the concept. With the repetitive tone, lack of development, and an ending that fell flat, it seemed like the story didn’t really know where to go—and ultimately, didn’t end up anywhere worthwhile.
