This 17 cage was such and interesting choice. At first it doesn't seem to restrict things all that much, but once you dive deeper into the solve you realize that it actually does a lot on all of the cages.
Really cool one and I think the 2* is spot on.

That was beautiful. Missed some elementary sudoku which made me wonder about the 2 star difficulty. I always look forward to your sudokus. Thank you.
