Thank you Rosa_Mangan. A very impressive crossword that went very smoothly thanks to the quality of your clues. Re your special instructions, I don't think I can give you any tips or guidance given the standard you've set but will look out for your next one.

Superb debut, thanks, Rosa_Mangan. I especially liked 14a & the linked 20a, 27a, 28a, 18d. A couple of observations in the reply...

Thanks Rosa_Mangan and welcome to MyC. I thought this was a very good debut. I enjoyed many of the clues including 1a, 12a, 2d, 7d, 18d, and 23d. I did have some problem making sense of the wordy clues such as 14a (which I revealed), 17a, and 5d. Writing succinct, readable clues takes some practice, however. I also revealed 10a (nho 'dark elf') and 6d as well. One technical note: in 5a you have wordplay 'of' definition which is the wrong way around. Finally I recommend clueclinic.com. Good luck!

Great debut puzzle. I'm going to remember 6D and 7D for a good while as they were 8D L :) Thank you for setting this!
