This book was just... so weird.  I honestly don't know what to say about it. The only thought I feel I can land on is this:  pretty uncool the way slavery is handled in this book. It's kind of implied that she "deserved" the abuse she suffered at the hands of her captor because

I guess she created him?  Because she's some kind of demigod actually???

Just...so weird. And left a really bad taste in my mouth (to keep with the theme).
