Story! Personal spells

10 Spells the Glasbläser Family Is Not Sharing With Each Other, In Order of Secrecy by Elisabeth R Moore.

I feel like I missed the deeper message of this story, but it is gentle and relational and also has some more serious themes. I would definitely read more stories in this world. (ETA: I noticed that Glasbläser in the title probably means Glassblower, so there's one more connection.)

Heard, Half-Heard, in the Stillness by Iona Datt Sharma.

I missed the extra richness of understanding the Hindi (?) words, but I did follow the storyline here. Family connections, a successful woman engineer, and a hopeful future.

Both of those stories were very nice to read, and I liked the otherworldly elements to both of them.
