elliel_nook's review against another edition
I don't want to read the book after everything that has come to light about the author and their past.

A trans witch, his husband and a bi selkie? Yes, yes and YES! This book is a short and sweet (well, definitely more spicy than sweet) super fast read.

Unfortunately with the recent stuff going around, I will not be finishing this book :(

I was working on a proper review of this book but, in light of recent revelations, I no longer wish to support or promote this author.
ravenk28's review against another edition
I will be removing my review as this author has been found to be pretending to be a trans Latinx person, harassing authors of colour and has been accused on multiple counts of racism

Poignant and sensual by turns, THREE KINGS is the story of a fishing captain and a male witch who open their marriage to a selkie.
Ethan and Peter have been trying for a baby, but Ethan is worried he might be infertile as a result of the desperate magic he used to bring Peter back from the dead three years ago. When Peter brings home a dead seal, Ethan is convinced it’s actually a selkie and brings it back to life as well. It turns out Ethan was right, and as Nico recovers in their care, the three of them start bonding.
I enjoyed this! It’s fully able to stand alone, though I would be interested in more stories in this setting or with these characters. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like it even though it deals with a topic (fertility) that I normally have zero interest in.

It felt a bit rushed and I wish it had been a little bit longer. Some of the scenes were also a little confusing since all three central characters were men using he/him pronouns. There were multiple instances where I wasn't sure which character was doing what, and not just during the spicy bits. I really did like the representation and the idea of them making a family. It was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. If only the author were a decent person.
