Normal sudoku rules apply.
Additionally, there are 5 cages, 3 palindrome lines (in blue), 2 thermos, and 2 little killer clues. For each kind of clue, the sums of the digits appearing in the clues of that kind form a consecutive, non-repeating set. That is:
- The five cage totals are n, n+1, n+2, n+3, and n+4 (for some n, to be determined by the solver).
- The sum of digits along the palindrome lines are i, i+1, and i+2 (for some i).
- The sum of digits along the thermos are j and j+1 (for some j).
- The sum of digits along the indicated diagonals are k and k+1 (for some k).
All of the usual thermo, little killer, palindrome, and cage rules apply. (Digits may not repeat in cages, and digits may repeat along little killer diagonals, if allowed by the other rules.)
Solution code: column 1

Absolutely adore how the clues interact with each other and how smooth the logical path is. Highly recommended!

This puzzle was beautiful and I really enjoyed the logic flow! I think right at the very end though I had three possible solutions? Went with the first and the answer key was happy with it, quite possible I'd made an error with the other two solutions :))
