Following the destruction of the Fifth Pillar and the fall of the former director of AEGIS, Karin and Misaki's desperate fight to protect their family and world intensifies. Denied the transcendent power of the celestial known as Rika, the First Pillar of Heaven pursues a brute-force solution to breaching the veil between worlds: summoning and binding a vast horde of spectral creatures. With the looming threat of Aestivar's army of darkness plunging the world into chaos and feeding off of the corruption they spread, Karin and her friends are once again thrust into the fray.
The fighting rages on two fronts: Karin and Misaki join forces with a peculiar former member of Luna and search for a way to gain access to the Astral Terminus themselves; meanwhile, Director Ceres's most trusted agent, joined by old friends and new, is sent to discover the secret behind the sinister astral technology binding Aestivar's spectral horde. With time running out and the world on the brink of a calamitous war of supernatural destruction, Karin must challenge not only the Pillars and their servants, but confront the very source of the corruption itself!
DAWN INTEGRATION, the fifth book of the DAWN OF A NEW ASTRAL AGE cycle, completes the tale of our heroines as they face down their most deadly and devastating enemies yet.

-
A lot of the strengths of what drew me to this series in the first place was a focus on character writing, and unfortunately, there is little of that in this final book. A lot of plot threads feel very unfinished, new characters appear in the final moments with no prior hint of their existence, and the ending, while satisfying, is rather abrupt and doesn't elaborate on much. A lot of this continues on from the fourth novel as well, with other threads coming and going. There's also weird new "catchphrases", and call backs to stuff that wasn't all that remarkable in the first place. With that said, the series is still excellent and a good read for people interested in lesbian urban fantasy with a cyberpunk twist.

Fine ending
A fine conclusion to a great series. Karin and Misaki are fantastic characters, and the additional cast members add to the story well. The action is well done.The story wraps up nicely, with some very cool "this fantasy stuff is really a form of advanced science" features, which I always appreciate. -
Loved every word.
A must read for sci fy fans. I am rereading all five books. I love the main characters and how they grew with the telling. Buy it, read it, and love it. -
Kind of a weird ending
I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of the ending. With all that happened Karin deserved more closure than she got. But the series itself was good.
