Simple To Grasp & Beautiful To Solve

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Another sudoku today from the ever-excellent yttrio - this time using "Parity Islands" to create fascinating logic all over the grid! The rule is so simple we can't really believe it's not been done before. If you have some time you really must try this one!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Orthogonally connected cells of the same parity (odd vs. even) are parity islands. A digit in a circle indicates the size of the island that cell is in.
