A few pointers: crosswords ideally have a wide variety of clue types; I counted 11 anagrams; a puzzle this size should have no more than 5 or 6. In 13a10a I don't see any anagram indicator; in 4d and 15d I don't see any hidden indicator. In 16d Euro in the clue and answer gives too much away. In 19a 'make it so' seems unnecessary. 7a and 23a seem to require very niche knowledge but that could be my own ignorance. All in all, however, you seem to have a clue style that's refreshing.
