You can choose up to 3 super editions for best, & 3 for worst
My opinion:
1. Tallstar’s Revenge - This Super Edition was so good omg. Tallstar felt somewhat relatable to me without feeling boring. Overall I found it a fun ride.
2. Crookedstar’s Promise - Also really good. I think Crookedstar was a fun protagonist to follow & Mapleshade was a really good villain in this one I don’t care what anyone says.
3. Crowfeather’s Trial - Breezepelt’s development didn’t make that much sense imo but it was still a really good book to me. Crowfeather is one of my faves and his POV did not disappoint.
4. Yellowfang’s Secret - I know for the longest time this was a really disliked Super Edition but I loved it. Yellowfang did not deserve to go through everything she went through & everyone around her was awful but I’d be lying if I said Yellowfang & all the other important cats in this story like Brokenstar, Raggedstar, & Russetfur weren’t enjoyable to read about.
5. Bluestar’s Prophecy - I liked it. I liked pre-Firestar ThunderClan & I liked the characters. Snowfur was fun, Thistleclaw was fun, Oakheart was fun, overall it was fine.
6. Graystripe’s Vow - I think it was a good book. I found Graystripe pretty likable in this one.
7. Hawkwing’s Journey - Not super amazing but far from bad. Hawkwing & Darktail were a fun dynamic and I liked Hawkwing.
8. Leopardstar’s Honor - I don’t think Leopardstar deserved as much forgiveness as she ended up getting but I still liked the book. Her dynamics with Mudfur, Sunfish, Whiteclaw, & Siverstream were fun.
9. Firestar's Quest - I like some of it I guess.
10. Squirrelflight’s Hope - SquirrelBramble were insufferable as always but I enjoyed other parts of it like the Sisters, StarClan, & Sparkpelt.
11. Skyclan’s Destiny - Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. Leafstar was such a pushover in this one it was kind of annoying but I thought Leafstar & Billystorm were a cute couple.
12. Bramblestar’s Storm - *yawns* It’s not the worst warriors book I’ve read, it’s just not good. I liked Stormcloud though.
13. Tigerheart’s Shadow - The Tigerheartstar glazing was annoying af, Dovewing was annoying af, TigerDove as a couple were annoying af, but I liked seeing ShadowClan rebuild itself & I liked the church cats.
14. Moth Flight’s Vision - I liked seeing the DoTC cats again & MothMicah were cute as a couple but I found Moth Flight & her stupid rule infuriating.
15. Riverstar’s Home - I wish I cared, but I don’t. I like Riverstar but this book was such a snooze fest.
16. Onestar’s Confession - Onestar ticks me off so bad, I hate how him being a deadbeat dad was just justified by the narrative because Darktail was “destined to be evil”. This dude deserved so much worse this book left me fuming.

I have not read any past SH but I just bought Graystripe's Vow and Leopardstar's Honor with Wind.
Crookedstar's Promise holds such a special place in my heart. I loved the storyline and I loved the majority of the characters, and I thought they made Crookedstar such an interesting character. I also think CP is peak Mapleshade, to be honest. I did also really enjoy Crowfeather's Trial and most of Tallstar's Revenge.
I absolutely despise Yellowfang's Secret, Squirrelflight's Hope, and Tigerheart's Shadow. They're all awful in my opinion, and I don't like the main characters much either. I hate Yellowfang post-TPB (though I liked her a little better in YS, I think?), I can't stand Tigerheart, and I don't like Squirrelflight nearly as much as I used to.
The rest are either neutral or I don't like or dislike them to any significant extent.

I'll never understand what they were thinking when they changed her character so wildly after her death.

There's nothing like Firestar's Quest. I loved seeing Firestar and Sandstorm rebuild SkyClan.
I also liked Bramblestar's Storm, despite the famous funny error.
- -
The drama in Squirrelflight's Hope could've been so much better. :/ Don't get me started on it.
Leopardstar's Honor was painful to read. Both the errors and prophetic dream thing ruined the book.

Crookedstars Promise is the best-written warrior cats book in my opinion. I prefer the Blazing Star, but CP is so good
Meanwhile Onestars Confession has some of the most… on the nose word choice in some paragraphs. The one where Onestars like, “She used to be my apprentice but now she’s older” is second only to SH.

Best are Hawkwing’s Journey, Bluestar’s Prophecy, and SkyClan’s Destiny. My least favorites are Tigerheart’s Shadow and Squirrelflight’s Hope, which are some of my least favorite Warriors books in general.

I got to give Crookedstar's Promise as best super-edition. It's the only one so far that physically made me emotional to the point of tears. Of course I've got soft spots for Firestar's Quest, Bluestar's Prophecy, and Bramblestar's Storm. As for worst... it's between Squirrelflight's Hope and Leopardstar's Honor.

Best: Bluestar's Prophecy Worst: Hard tie between Squirrelflight's Hope and Tigerheart's Shadow. Going with Tigerheart's Shadow though.

Out of the ones I've read I think the best is Tallstar's Revenge. Tallstar is far and away the best one though because it works as a stand-alone story really well and I like the focus on characterization and worldbuilding. And Talljake! Who doesn't love Talljake?! I also love the detail of Tallstar's name being Talltail, since he's chasing after a "tall tale" about what really killed his father! I wish we had more meaningful names like that in the series.
The worst ones... Well, Moth Flight's Vision just frustrated me. They really couldn't think of a more interesting answer for why medicine cats can't have kits other than "a cat who has been easily distractable her whole life is easily distracted" LMAO? Just because she didn't have a healthy work-life balance means no one else can either??? It sucks because I did like her as a character but it was so weird in its messaging. And not only did she have to give up her kits, she had to split them up into different communities they had no real connection to? She couldn't even let them stay together? I had too many questions.
You know who managed to stay pretty prominently in her kits' lives, even mentoring two of them, while being a fairly successful medicine cat? Leafpool. Shoutout to Leafpool. It's almost like the clans being big communal families would be perfectly fine for raising kits while their parents are busy... Moth Flight I am begging you to hire a babysitter instead of making it everyone's problem
Okay Moth Flight rant over xD

Best: SkyClan's Destiny - I liked how it had two povs, it's hard for books to keep my attention if they only have one pov unless it's in first person pov. I really liked Stick's pov, he's one of my favorite characters. This book had fantastic character moments especially with Mintfur, Sagenose, and Petalnose, I felt it helped flesh out their characters a little bit more. The only minor complaint I have is Egg being a one time thing, maybe Tree is one of his descendants and he'll come back as a ghost, or maybe he's still alive, Sparrowtail is still alive so Egg could be as well.
Worst: Tallstar's Revenge - I liked the tunneling aspect of the book, that was cool, but the premise made little sense and I think it would have been better if they made Tallstar and Sandgorse closer, they were never close and yet Tallstar is going to leave his clan to go kill a guy to avenge him? I know that Tallstar was thinking with emotions and not his brain, but I just didn't find this to be a very compelling book, especially after seeing what people said about it, that reminds me of another thing, Tallstar x Jake was highly underwhelming, I wasn't expecting much with publishing laws around the world, but they didn't even have a fraction of what Ravenpaw x Barley had, it seemed completely one-sided to me. I might be missing some stuff because I kinda lost interest after Tallstar left WindClan because Shrewclaw was the most interesting character in the book, actually, now that I think of Shrewclaw, I thought he was extremely entertaining, so I'll go with Bluestar's Prophecy, I remember disliking this book a lot when I read it, but I don't remember why. I haven't read most of these SEs tbh

Tallstars Revenge could have been the best super edition. It has the best message in a Warriors Book. It has Talljake, which I love! It has my favorite character from a super edition, Shrewclaw. It has a bad mother, but not that she doesn’t care for her kit like Rainflower, but that she just cares for Talltail badly. It could be better than CP on paper.
However, the pacing is god awful and drags the book down. We spend too much time in Windclan and not enough time on the journey, or with Talltail actually being able to forgive Sparrow. Their confrontation feels so rushed, even if it’s amazing. And Jake only shows up for around ten chapters? AND for the first two or three Talltail keeps on calling him dumb kittypet? The pacing brings a perfect book into the number two slot for me.
(However I do like when the twoleg tries to meow like the cats, and he calls Talltail a furball.)

I honestly don't hate the pacing because I tend to dislike journey/travelling chapters. There's only so many times I can read about cats walking somewhere and then getting chased by a dog or trying to cross the Thunderpath and it feels like they ran out of unique or interesting obstacles a loooong time ago.
So, for me the shorter journey actually helps my impression of the book rather than harms it, it doesn't overstay its welcome as much.
