This is by far the most difficult puzzle I have set to date and I am very proud of it. I hope you enjoy solving it as much as I enjoyed setting it, good luck!
p.s. I'm not totally sure if this is 5 stars for difficultly, but it is certainly no less than 4 stars.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Digits in cages sum to the number in the top-left corner of the cage. Digits may not repeat within a cage. (Killer Cage variant)
Digits along a thermometer strictly increase from the blub to the tip. (Thermometer variant)
Cells in the same relative position within a 3x3 box may not contain the same digit (for example, the top-left cell in each 3x3 box must contain a different digit). (Disjoint variant)

The opening of this one is magical! And the pressure does not relent during the entire puzzle. Always another candidate to eliminate and more scanning to do. Challenging and thoroughly enjoyable!
