The Council of Mirrors

The Council of Mirrors, Sisters Grimm #9 by Michael Buckley

The Sister's Grimm series ends with a marriage, so that makes it a Shakespearean comedy, right?  It starts with a prophecy that the sisters are the ones to defeat the Scarlet Hand. At first, they try to rely on others, but then they realize that they must be the ones to lead. They make some plans, and seem to have some success, but there are various spies involved. They realize that somebody has put them in the story, which is the true path to success. Since the Grimms are now in the fairy tales, their brother's body will not allow mirror to escape fairy land. They end up defeating the bad guys with love and all live happily ever after - with a marriage as a coda. It feels an appropriate ending to a fairy tale book.
