I absolutely loved The Theory of Immortality, so much so that five stars simply isn’t enough. This is one of those rare books that keeps you intellectually engaged while completely entertaining you, never letting you settle too comfortably into predicting what comes next.
I’m the kind of reader who loves trying to unravel the plot as I go, and this book kept throwing curveballs I genuinely did not see coming. Just when I thought I had a handle on the direction of the story, it would pivot, intentionally, and in ways that felt real rather than gimmicky. That unpredictability made it impossible for me to put it down.
What truly elevated the experience for me was the science. The “science nerd” in me was immediately drawn to the books description and it absolutely did not disappoint. The scientific elements felt thoughtful and well-integrated, complex enough to be intriguing, but never so heavy that they slowed the narrative. Instead, they enhanced it, grounding the story in a way that made the ideas feel both fascinating and plausible.
Beyond the book itself, I couldn’t help but imagine this story expanding even further. It would translate beautifully as the first book in a mini-series, or dare I say a limited television series on a platform like Netflix. The pacing, twists, and depth of the concepts feel perfect for that kind of adaptation.
In short, The Theory of Immortality is clever, captivating, and deeply entertaining. It challenges the reader without ever losing its momentum, and it rewards curiosity at every turn. If you enjoy smart fiction with unexpected twists and a strong scientific backbone, or even if science isn't your thing this book is an absolute must-read.

The Theory of Immortality has everything you want from a romantasy novel: a mysterious suitor, magical forces, a dark conspiracy slowly uncovered, and a bit of spice. But it's the things that set it apart that make it a truly special read.
1. The protagonist isn't an angsty teenager, she's a thirty-something divorcee with a mind of her own. There are no miscommunication tropes in this book; the characters are refreshingly capable of sharing their feelings.
2. The science is solid. The author is an actual scientist, and all of the scientific content is accurate.
3. The writing is skillful. Miller deftly balances easy reading with the strong vocabulary and allusions that you'd expect from modern literature. It's a style that is sure to keep readers from both ends of the spectrum engaged.
