I, Volcano by Eule Grey

Author: Eule Grey
Title: I, Volcano
Genre: FF, adventure, romance, new adult.
According to ancient rhymes, the islanders of Ansar and Skarle are children of the volcano, born of fire and destined to be lovers. After the eruption, the prophecies are forgotten as all are forced to flee. Nobody cares about silly nursery rhymes now, certainly not Jalob.
When shy medic Jalob Baleine heads to war, it isn’t for romance. She only wants to help refugees who have no home or allies. Because they are kin. Jalob was born under the same glowering volcano, on an idyllic island surrounded by dolphins. Like the refugees, she fled the lava and secretly cherishes the old ways.
She falls asleep, ignoring the pull of tides, and dreams of a loving touch. Who doesn’t? And sure, maybe Jalob hasn’t felt whole for years, but war isn’t the time for fantasies. She keeps to herself and hopes someone else will sort the war out. One woman can’t heal the world. After all, she has enough to do, what with tending the sick and her supervisor, Susan, always on her back.
Then Jalob meets stroppy violinist, Corail Esplash. After an explosive introduction, they’re forced to spend time together. Stress makes them long for a reprise, and a fragile line dances between love and hate. Inevitably, the young women exchange island stories. Corail is head-strong and rude, a typical Ansar who loves to tease and be chased. And Jalob—strong, loyal, from Skarle—has such fast legs… Could the old rhymes about destiny be right? Ah, fate.
Death and war are relentless enemies, and difficult choices lie ahead. Can a shy girl rekindle the power of a dead volcano and harness the ocean? One woman can’t heal the world, but maybe Jalob is the only one who can save Corail.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thank you for the ARC read, I voluntarily give this book an honest review. Wow reading Jalob and Corail world hits so closely to any media in our world. War is everywhere! It does shine a bright light on alot of issues, Whether its infighting or others invading. Unless its in your face no one wants to pay attention to the cause and effect of the outcome. Jalob is learning these lessons the hard way, how a young person feels the call to do better in, to try to make a difference really! To think was everyone right that Jalob was to weak-willed to be in the front of the action? Surviving on Ansars to just have another day with her beautiful violinist, can a blessing come from the darkness around? Love is a beautiful thing if it can survive.
