This isn't really a book, I would call it an informative leaflet or pamphlet. Subtracting the disclaimer at the start and the 'about the author' section at the end, it is under 30 pages long. In large font at that, with plenty of white space. I read it while taking a bath and was left with time to spare as the water hadn't even cooled by the time I got to the end.
There are an alarming number of errors in grammar and formatting within these scant pages - words run together, words which should be one word made into two 'witch craft' being an example. Words like 'also' appearing twice in short sentences. All of which suggest this wasn't given even a cursory read through before it was published. It also makes me doubt the facts being presented in the book.
Despite this, there is a page of other sources to explore, a ritual that might be interesting to practice (though it is set up for a group and there is no solitary wording) and a guided meditation (which you could record for yourself, but which the book advises buying a recording of from the author's website). Those things might be of use to you, if you are just starting out in your research on this goddess.
The book is however retailing on Amazon UK at £11.60 - a grossly inflated price for a book you could conceivable roll into a drinking straw. I got my copy from eBay for £4 and I think even that is too much! (the seller didn't specify the number of pages!) I think the author would do better to group her leaflets into one book about the goddesses - to make it worth the money, and worth printing.

Really didn't enjoy, so short I read in under 5 minutes and came out of it with nothing.

Not thrilled but informed. Essentially clickbait.
The book, or excerpt from a book as one comes in find out, is thought out and well-informed. However, the title is misleading because it doesn't actually debate if Hecate is a Queen or Crone. This excerpt references parts of the book you don't get with this unit, which is taken from the middle of the book. I understand that's a marketing tactic. At least use the first chapter and make it clear that's all it is. Wait until the end of the book for all the links. Otherwise, it feels like clickbait, especially when the excerpt is so short.

short but very informative
Short read but there isn’t a lot to be known about Hecate so I understand why. There is a lot of good information on her in this book so I still highly recommend it.

Little more than an info pamphlet.
