Thanks for the puzzle Haven, I think this is the first of yours I've completed and there are some wonderful clues here. I particularly liked 10a (very efficient), 19a (clever, but parsing stumped me til I checked your annotations), 20a (another wonderfully neat clue), 22a (likewise), 23a, 24a, 3d and 17d. Your long anagrams were also very impressive. Spoilers in reply
Hi Haven. As others have said, continued improvement - with a couple of appearances from old Haven possibly in there too! I'll return to that briefly in Reply. But I ticked plenty as soundly constructed and fair, even if some of them were tricky: 8a, 10a, 11a, 15a, 16a (lol), 20a, 23a (super), 24a, 14d, 17d are all perfectly good clues in my book. And credit for the long ones: 1d and 2d are very neat. Spoilers in Reply
