June 18, 2024EDIT: I read and reviewed this book in good faith in 2023. Removing that review and support for this author now (assuming goodreads will let me do so and doesn’t still have reviews for this book locked) because…yeah you know exactly why 😐 https://x.com/porterotica/status/1781...

Went into this blindly for the poly but got a trans MC too! Me a lucky guy :)
Ethan and Peter are established couple who yearns for children of their own. Their story was sweet, gentle and heartwarming. I loved the two of them together. They communicate really well even with doubts they always made sure they had each other.
I love the touches on realism in their relationship. The doubts and insecurities were portrayed really well in here. It was surreal. I felt so sad for Ethan :( He felt so hopeless with himself sometimes. His doubts all made sense and I just wanted to hug him and tell him he’s all good.
He’d been forced to break things—bones, hearts, promises. Had to figure out when and how someone might aim to hurt him because someone would always, always want to. For becoming self-made, for having a womb, for harnessing magic, for being different.
It’s a surprise how these three guys come together. It all felt natural and easy for them. I liked that. The issues I had was that, not until they all get together, the story was done. I never get to see more of Nico with three of them at least tried to have babies together. To me, it felt like the core of the plot was missing. Especially them being a throuple. The buildup to three of them getting together was great though. And the epilogue doesn’t sound promising. This should’ve been longer.
Or maybe this was harem lovestory?. Which, I’m not a fan of :’)
This is my first-time author and I really like the writing. Sadly, this throuple didn’t work for me but I have one more on my TBR and will get to that soon. This will definitely not be my last especially with all of those trans reps hehe ;>

June 14, 2024[ETA, April 21, 2024: It appears that "Moon" has engaged in unpleasant shenanigans under a number of pseudonyms, and in particular that they aren't Latine, as they purport to be. The relevant gdoc, with screenshots, is here.
It's a pity for a number of reasons, among which is that the books I've read by this writer can stand on their own merits; there was no need for "Moon" to pretend to be anyone they weren't.]
The world of Three Kings has FaceTime, credit cards, hotels, and Earl Grey tea. It also has witches, among them Ethan Shaw, who brought his fisherman husband Peter Vásquez back from the dead after a dreadful storm three years ago. And it has selkies, among them one drowned in Peter’s fishing net while in the form of a leopard seal. Ethan’s craft brings the selkie back to life, too, and in this brief, loving, sexy fairy tale of lives lost and given, grief and desire, fear and the abandonment of fear, some pain is resolved for all three men. Ethan himself is, in an important way, brought back to life by the bond between him and those he has saved.
It’s hard to know how to judge a story like this. It’s not neatly and elegantly structured — rather, it works by correspondences, much like magic itself. As in Moon’s Exodus 20:3, certain things are taken for granted; for instance. Ethan is female-bodied, and his status as a trans man is irrelevant to his distress at his seeming inability to get pregnant. Again as in Exodus 20:3, there’s a restful matter-of-factness about Ethan’s being a man who has a vulva and a uterus; there’s also a wonderful lushness and intensity in the sex Ethan has with Peter and, later, with both Peter and Nico. Moon writes the sexiest sex.
Also because of the mythical quality of the story, complaints I might have about a more naturalistic narrative become irrelevant. I think it’s important to read Three Kings as an extended folktale rather than as, exactly, a novel. This isn’t a criticism at all; Freydís Moon’s work is sui generis and ought not to be judged in conventional ways. The one such criticism I would make is that some of Ethan’s angry flare-ups don’t seem entirely grounded in their circumstances. Additionally, there are a few usage problems — for instance, “pawned” where “pawned off” would have been correct. But on the whole this was a great pleasure.

April 20, 2024ETA: I read this book in good faith back in 2022. I have kept my original review, below, but have removed my star rating due to the author's history of racism and bullying under another name. More information can be found here - https://twitter.com/porterotica/statu...

Review:
Ethan Shaw, lightkeeper, trans witch, has enough on his plate while trying for a child with his fisherman husband Peter who he necromanced back from an early grave; he's beginning to feel like maybe it won't happen, and beginning to feel like it's driving a wedge between them. When Peter brings back a seal he'd accidentally injured and who died on the way back, and Ethan recognizes it as a selkie, he throws caution to the wind and commits necromancy a second time to bring the selkie back to life, bringing a feral, confused, handsome young man into their midst.
The writing in this erotic polyamorous story was very good, and while it covered themes I normally don't prefer to read about (fertility struggles being a major part of this) it focused so much on the characters' feelings and fears that I found it absolutely delightful. It was a bit short for my tastes -- it felt like it could have spent more time growing the feelings between all three of them and exploring it, as it felt a bit to me like they were rushing -- and I didn't love . But in general it was a delight. I'll definitely seek out more of Moon's writing.

This is a cozy tale about a married couple comprised of Ethan and Peter. Ethan is a witch who has been recovering emotionally from a powerful magic he performed just a couple of years ago to return Peter from death. The discussion of what performing magic like this means to a witch is not discussed openly between the two, same as how the pressure of having been trying and failing to conceive for the past few years means to someone with a uterus.
After Peter drags in an injured seal that was caught in his net, those performance stressors are what motivate Ethan to attempt reviving the seal - which is actually a selkie, thank you very much Peter - using a magical ritual.
What follows after the selkie is revived is a spark that might just force this young couple to face insecurities they didn't even know they had.
This story split its time between the emotional journey of the characters and the vibe of the setting. They live in a lighthouse, and the scent of the town, the sea, their tea, and cooking is always present in the background.
I will say some things between the main couple and the selkie felt unrealistic/rushed, and I might have even preferred a PG13 version for that reason haha! But otherwise it was a cute novella and I'd like to read more in this world.

Updating my review (21/4/24) because:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V...
I feel betrayed.
One of the things I appreciate most of Freydís Moon's books is their representation of all the soft nuances of what being trans is. This novella transports us to a Practical Magic-like town but with the special brand of beautiful sadness and timeless present unique to the author. Their characters are strong but gentle, tender but ruthless in a way, and overall they are pure magic. There's love and polyamory, spells and necromancy, a relentless sea, a magical garden, teas and delicious foods, afrodisiac-enhanced sex, and even a kitten. Perfection as always.

I received an ARC and I’m leaving an honest review.
A few months ago I read “With A Vengeance” by Freydis, and I already knew going into this book that it would be completely different from WAV, but I was not excepting it to make me so emotional. I cried and got anxious waiting for them to talk about the insecurities and problems, and during the moments when they were all together.
Five stars is not enough to express how much I loved this, I need five more.
I need more of their story, too. I want extra domestic/fluff scenes of the trio 😭

3.5*
Love the trans rep in erotica, and the trans pregnancy rep! I love seeing trans parenthood represented as well
I’m a huge fan of selkie folklore so loved seeing it shown in this setting
I wish this book could have been a bit longer and the time line was longer than a few days. It made the relationship and conversations feel very rushed
I wasn’t a huge fan of nico myself as a character and partner so that took me out of the story a bit

Another for my collection of killer opening lines:
And the book just gets better and better from there. It counters all my usual problems with cozy witchy books, and sometimes cozy fantasy in general, not to mention the fraught subject of fertility. It’s full of lines that devastating in their quietness and truth.
There’s grief and loss too, and change, part of the messiness right along with love and hope. Just the vibe I want for a winter solstice read. Basically, everything about this little novella is exquisite, and what M.E. Morgan has done with the new cover art lives up to the gorgeousness therein.
Ethan Shaw carried two knives, one for lilies, the other for veins.

It was strange, sharing the silence with a man who’d always fit into his life like an organ, and a man who’d wandered into their home like a leak or a bear—capable of causing invisible damage or very real, very visible problems. That was the messiness, wasn’t it? The consequence that came with magic as intimate as necromancy.

Ethan faced the moon again. He breathed because breathing seemed sensible; he wanted to remind himself it was possible to breathe right then, to inhale and exhale in the midst of change.

This was on my 2023 TBR so I’m glad I got to read it! I didn’t like this one as much as the other story I read, but Freydis is really good at writing stories that pull you in. Freydis’ writing is some of my favorite they’re really good at putting together a story, and writing great characters.

This is really cute and spicy.
The local grumpy witch lives with his husband in a lighthouse, quite happily. The only problem is that they wish for a child of their own.
One day the husband brings back a wounded selkie who is very distrustful at first. But the three men are drawn to each other and have to rethink a few things.
This is a story about struggling with fertility, about polyamory, trust and family.
I really enjoyed it!

June 19, 2024The ritual called for innocence, and he had none to spare, so he searched the shoreline for white-petaled flowers— speckled with saltwater, yawning toward the sky...
I quite enjoyed this... that being said, I expected a little bit more from the book.
I absolutely loved the atmosphere and witchery this book contained and the amazing rep. But... the romance didn't end up quite doing it for me. I originally gave it four stars, but after discussing the book and letting it sit for a little bit, I think this deserves a solid strong three stars. I wish there was more of the worldbuilding I loved... also the book contains one fanficky trope that I felt was unecessary...
But I overall liked the author's work and I will be checking up some more of their books. (I think I'll go for Exodus 20:3)

Highlights:
This is my first work of Freydís Moon and I was so excited to finally read something by them. Ethan is such an interesting character. From the start Ethan and Peter's relationship got me hooked. I loved that it felt real. It wasn't magically perfect but they loved each other so much. I loved their relationship with Nico as well. The build up was done very well and felt natural. I liked that there wasn't any negative jealously and they had honest conversations about their attraction to him. I loved the magic and fae in this book. It's not over explained, it's just exists and is a hidden knowledge of the world.
Lowlights:
I wanted more. I wanted to know more about Nico and his life before being injured. We got a little information but I wanted more.

A quick read - this would have been four stars for me, but the amount of hissing and snarling everyone did was… a little too much for me.
If that had been not so strong, this would have been an easy four star rating.
But they aren’t cats, so… it just got distracting after a while. 👀

I’m obsessed with Freydis Moon, I literally have one book left by them and I will have read every Freydis Moon books. This one is different but in a good way, a lot more fantasy romance but I enjoyed it a lot.

May 19, 2024In April 2024 information came out about this author that proves they are a white person pretending to be Latine for clout, profit, and so that they can call anyone who disagrees with them racist. They are a bully who uses multiple synonyms to harass other authors and readers. As such, I have removed my review for this and every other book of theirs I have read.

I received this as an Arc! OH MY GOD I loved this novella so much. I fell in love with Freydis Moon's works this year. As a Queer non binary person this story and their others connected with me in a way I rarely feel.
Three Kings is a beautiful, poetical and magical story about love and how it grows and changes. If you want a cozy witchy book set by the sea this is the novella for you. The writing in this book was so atmospherical and vivid in description. The best part of this novella though was 100% the characters and their relationships to each other. Ethan Shaw's struggle with infertility was so beautifully handled and made me feel so emotional at times, also the support and understanding he receives from Peter his husband was one of my favourite aspects of this books. The relationship that develops between all three Ethan, Peter and Nico didn't feel out of place and I felt was a relationship that they all equally wanted. The magic/witchy part of the story was also interesting and I really enjoyed how it felt so real and natural and not this big complicated magic system.
I would highly recommend not only this book but all of Freydis's other works.

This was a gorgeously written tale of love and hope. Ethan, a witch, lives with his husband Peter, a sea captain, in a lighthouse in a small Nordic town. When Peter rescues a wounded seal who later ends up being a selkie named Nico, a connection born of magic and longing develops between the three of them.
The connection between Ethan and Peter understandably feels the strongest, filled with unconditional devotion and belonging, but soon a place is made where Nico belongs with them. I do feel this may have benefited from multiple points of view, as the connection between Peter and Nico didn't feel as clear as each of the others, but I do understand why we only get Ethan's perspective.
Ethan is a remarkable character, fierce and smart, but struggling with loneliness. Ethan is also a trans man struggling with fertility, and while I cannot speak to the rep, it felt very empathetic. The ending felt a bit abrupt, but it was a hopeful one.
This is a very quiet, subtle story and I thought it was very well done. I will absolutely be reading more from this author.

This was a good quick read. A lot of spice for being short but also really good character building. I do wished it was a little longer because it felt like they all fell for each other very quickly and wanted more interactions between everyone. I loved the setting of this story and how lived in it felt. Also it was a very happy ending and no sense of impending doom hovering over anything. I still wanted more of them being together, maybe a little less spice and more of them getting to know each other. Build on this new relationship blooming between these three unique and amazing men. I am so glad to have found this author, they are by far one of my favorite LGBTQ+ authors.

Summary: hunky sailor captain brings home a seal he
Accidentally caught in his net to his witchcrafty Husband for help. The seal is a selkie, beautiful fae shifter man that stirs things up.
The OG couple despite their rough patch was honestly marriage goals. Their openness and supportive dialogue in only like 150 pages was done so well that I was fully invested from the start and in love by the end.

3.5 I feel like the overall atmosphere and vibe of the story is the strongest element. It was unique in a way that felt personal to the writer, and that made it entertaining. That being said, the plot itself felt a little rushed and I do wish both the magic and the fertility conflict got more exploration. But it was fun and cute and satisfying for what it was.

Perfectly cozy & tender, Three Kings is exactly what I wanted.
For lovers of a cozy fisherman village setting, magic, soft queer love stories, immersive writing, and incredibly well balanced smut.
I will likely reread annually. 🥹
