Normal sudoku rules apply, and all clues are standard.
Killer cages: the sum of the digits inside each cage is equal to the small number in the top left corner, and digits cannot repeat within a cage.
Thermometers: digits on thermometers increase from the bulb.
Digits in cells with a shaded square must be even.

This puzzle was originally published in Artisanal Sudoku, Volume 114. I publish five new puzzles there every Monday morning, and I only cross-post a handful of them here.
Also, I take submissions (contributors are paid and credited, and retain the right to re-publish their puzzle elsewhere), and at the moment I'm especially interested in easier puzzles, like this one. For more information about submitting a puzzle, reach out to me on Discord (@James Sinclair), or leave a comment here and we'll figure out a way to get in touch :) Thanks!
