I'd anticipated that I'd love this story—a flipped world of prejudice where black is superior and white is slave—and I didn't, not at all. You can do almost anything in a story and I'll accept it, but please don't (1) be predictable and (2) don't hit me with your agenda. This book, sadly, did both.
