Query: Fan-fiction?

Most of what I think about this book has been said, and said well. The writing is mediocre at best, and it's NOT a parody.It strikes me as a sorry attempt at fan-fiction, and Cindy/Cinnamon/Cynara makes for a fine example of a 'Mary Sue'.Had the author intended to write the story from the view of the slaves at Tara, well, there were plenty of established characters to pick from. Why not write the story from Mammy's view, for example? Now that might have been interesting to read. But no, she had to invent a character... the super-beautiful, intelligent, mistreated but feisty half-sister. Good grief.
