    Thank you! I liked the theme, but honestly the solve was kind of rough. Some opinions (take them for what they're worth):
    • 21A was definitely my favorite theme entry clue.
    • I really liked some of the other entries and clues, especially 34D (deliciously tricky!)
    • Overall the cluing was challenging (but totally fair) — some tricky, some testing the bounds of my knowledge.
    • However, some of the fill outside of the theme entries was really obscure (I'm looking at you, LYLY).
    • The long non-theme entries (OTHERWORLDS, CLEANENERGY) were cool but felt odd since they were longer than themers.
    • The misspelling in the clue for 13A ("Macrabe" for "Macabre") really tripped me up.

        Very nice puzzle on the whole. Just wanted to add to the other users' constructive feedback and point out that 19-A and 15-D are the same word. Luckily, you have many options that you can change the last letter of 15-D to without affecting the rest of the grid. Looking forward to solving more of your work!
