I thought it was good for Asher, in an "I'm trying to make sense of something ridiculously random" sort of way. He's been bitching about all the straight men for ages, he grabbed himself two major victories in one book by getting JC and something that doesn't seem to have any concept of sexual orientation.

I'm leaning more towards the hope that there won't be a next book so I don't have to torture myself reading it, but I know better than to hope too much for that one and figure he'll end up permanently called Dev until Asher comes to his senses, takes his hyena's (and the tiger) and goes off to murder people for his own territory. The last part's probably a long shot.
