I hope everyone is doing well! This is my second publication on the website. I appreciated all the feedback on my last one; it helped with creating this more than you know! I am very happy with how this turned out, but please let me know if you find any mistakes or have any gripes about the definitions or substitutions used. Good luck!

Wow Abdul, you’ve been working really hard to hone your skills and it’s definitely bearing fruit. Some fantastic clues in here, with nifty wordplay and sparkly surfaces! I particularly liked 10a, 11a, 25a, 26a, 2d, 3d (clever definition ), 4d, 8d, 9d, 24d.
