    TESTATE and ECDYSIS tripped me up, but I enjoyed the puzzle!

      Thanks Mike!

        Same here! Some fun clues here, especially for the theme ones. Great concept and execution.

          Thanks Kieran. In hindsight, I should have avoided crossing two of the most obscure words in the grid. I'll learn for next time!

        SECOND PERSON was very clever; the wording of 50A really confused me. Overall, really nice job!

          Thanks Max. I may have tried to make 50A more confusing than I should! I find it hard to make three-letter-word clues interesting.
