I just finished my first book from my new book challenge. The book was Rav Hisda's Daughter: Book 1 The Apprentice by Maggie Anton. This is a book about love, religion, and spells. I found the whole story really interesting. The main character is Hisdadukh or "Dada". She is the youngest child of Rav Hisda. The story starts out with Rav Hisda asking Dada which boy she wants to marry, Rami or Abba? She in response answers "Both of them" and Abba says "I want to be the last one".
We then see a struggle of jealousy between Rami and Abba to compete for her love by impressing her father in their studies. Dada is the main character, but we receive a lot of information about all her family members, several students, and the local women who cast spells for people. I was really attached to Dada and felt happy when she was happy and sad when she was sad. I can't really tell too much about the story without spoiling some important parts, but I will say that I look forward to reading the 2nd book in this series when it is written.
