back to Avtaar.  I found this a lot more approachable and enjoyable than our setter’s first crossword.  It was still on the tough side but less impenetrable and the clues were a lot better in terms of accuracy.  My only comments are minor ones and all are points that can be overcome with practice and experience.  Interestingly, all of the comments relate to the down clues and increase towards the end, which is often the sign of a long setting session where you are beginning to lose focus or trying to race to the finishing line.  The commentometer reads as 3/28 or 10.7%.
