Hell's Princess was well-researched and intriguing, but I got really sick of the author fat shaming, using the term “mannish” and other disparaging words for women, and what seriously felt like an unnecessary and gratuitous use of the n-word and negative racial stereotypes every other page. I don't think I vibed with the writing voice in general. I think another reviewer said it best when they pointed out that the amount of detailed research was great, but the book would have been much better if written by someone else. Interesting case though, I honestly had never heard of it. I wish there had been a clean resolution, but that's obviously not the fault of the author.
