Charlotte Henley Babb is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Maven Fairy Godmother: Through the Veil. This was a very unique and quite funny spin on a fairy tale and the fairy godmothers that fill their pages. Maven is the not-so-ordinary fairy godmother, older, wider, and has many trip-ups on the job. But when she just entered the world of Faery, can anyone really blame her? Well, her boss seems to, but what’s more – she might even be out to kill Maven.
The book is built up well with regions such as Mundane, Fiction, and Faery, and the characters are funny and likeable. Maven is quite flawed, when we first meet her she is an out-of-work teacher and living out of her car. I liked her transition to fairy godmother, and I understood the story. There was a chance of getting lost and confused, but the authors does a good job of explaining and making Maven someone who can be relatable. The middle got a little jumbled at times with more characters being brought into the mix, and I found myself really favoring the sections that dealt with primarily Maven. But overall I thought this was a humorous read with a unique twist on what a fairy godmother can really be.

Hey! It’s great to see this book getting some of the attention it so richly deserves! I disqualify myself from the contest–I helped to edit this book, but I am every bit as impressed as the reviewer. This is a cute, heartful, imaginative rethinking of some of your old stories.
If you want to have a contest, though, you should have a REAL contest: see if anyone can figure out who The Snake is. I did, but Ihad to read it through twice.
