Excellent. Feminist. Inspiring.

This text calls for a higher level of thinking than that of mere "savage" vs. "culture". By feeding into Jalav's preconceived notions of what "god-like" behavior is all about, the "gods" in this storyline hope to use her belief system against her to control her actions to their will. However, being a strong person faced with "because we said so" odds, Jalav challenges her own belief system in order to find a way out of a defeatist situation, and in order to empower herself to resolve an unhealthy deal she's been forced to accept. Absolutely riveting!
