What do you think of them in general, and which one is your favorite one?

I think most of them were rushed and underdeveloped. GrayxTurtle,Wind xGrose, GrayxSlate and MilkxLeaf were the only ones I liked.

Gray x Turtle and Gray x Slate are both really lovable and I think overall Gray Wing's romantic arcs were handled great.
Background stuff like Jagged x Holly and Leaf x Milkweed is also done really well, and in particular I love Wind x Gorse so much. Their story together is so heartwarming and at times heart-wrenching.
And then, of course, we have Thunder and Clear Sky's relationships, which are just whack compared to the rest of the arc. Clear Sky and Bright Stream are a nice, harmless relationship right off the bat, and Clear Sky x Storm made some level of sense too. Thunder not being mates with Star Flower and dealing with how she betrayed him was good. Yet somehow all of this culminated in Thunder marrying a Mary Sue about a week after he met her, while Clear Sky gets together with just about the worst option possible for him: Someone who sees nothing wrong with all the violence and death he caused.

They're very hit-or-miss for me. I like some, I'm meh on some, there's quite a couple I do not like too.
My top favorite has to be Gray/Slate because even if it was a tad fast, they showed to have more chemistry together in that time-frame, plus unlike with Turtle Tail it never felt as if Gray Wing was being pressured to get with her (Gray/Turtle I find cute but looking back at it I'm not as big on it as I was before because of that reason, but I still love GrayTurtleSlate in terms of their endgame), it happened on its own. And plus Slate made Gray Wing happy, since it was pretty clear he was feeling like crap at multiple points at that time, they even had a family together, but alas, he died before he could be able to raise them and watch them grow up alive. *Sadface* A tie with that is WindGorse. They’d been through a lot, the fire in Wind's bonus scene, half their kits dying, and whathaveyou and they still go strong. Plus their personalities contrast in an amusing way sometimes (The bonus scene when she was all “Who the frick are you??” and he was simply like “:)” makes me laugh) and they work. Wind’s pretty hotheaded at times and Gorse tends to keep her somewhat cooled down (sometimes) with his gentler nature. They're the one BG couple I actually really enjoyed reading about no matter what.
Least favorites have to be a tie between Thunder/Violet and Clear/Star Flower, and even Clear/Storm. Clear/Storm is just... what even was this pairing? Love... no... LUST at first sight, a LITERAL DEFINITION OF IT. no development, no chemistry beforehand, just insta-love on both ends all based on looks, just eye contact and a very awkward and uncomfortable to read encounter that makes me wanna hurl. BLEH! Even Gray/Storm had potential to be better than what we got! And Clear/Star Flower is just... no... like HMMMM, Dating your neglected son’s ex love interest who watched you get tortured by her dad and goons when they were trying to take over the forest, okay... And Thunder/Violet... Oh hey another “Love at first sight” couple with a she-cat made solely just to be Thunder’s mate and nothing more. It was literally love at first sight for Thunder, and they were so rushed since Violet Dawn was introduced at the end of the series, when Thunder was saying at one point they should take it slow and get to know eachother before getting serious this gal is suddenly all "Don't be ridiculous, you're gonna be the father of my kits one day!" immediately soon after and she barely even knows this guy at all and UUUGGGGHHHHHH. Seriously just… what even was this pairing?
Also there's BG stuff like Jagged/Holly I hate that I'm gonna add to the mix. I really felt like they were setting up for Jagged/Rainswept, the two had a lot of development with their friendship, only for the editors to kill the latter off for no reason other than to give Clear Sky a cat to kill in TFB, and then the very next book he's all gaga for a cat he just met and doesn't even grieve for his dead friend in the slightest. Because ya know, screw remembering Rainswept Flower, screw the cat that was a good friend of yours and supported and helped you out for moons and moons before her death, and your budding relationship. NOPE! Get a cat you just met pregnant! Just, kay. I hate them as much as Clear/Storm.

I like Turtle x Gray x Slate only because it's poly in StarClan, otherwise, I wasn't that into it. I personally think he had more chemistry with Fern and especially River Ripple tbh.
Milkweed x Leaf was the best development, I didn't mind Holly x Jagged Peak, and Petal x Clear Sky should have been a thing. Also, Sun Shadow x Moth Flight was nice, should have also been a thing.
I'm not fond of Clear Sky x Bright Stream/Storm/Star Flower, they're all garbage.
I also don't care for Moth Flight x Micah/Spotted Fur, one was forced down my throat, the other was utterly annoying.
Thunder x Violet Dawn/Star Flower are also both equally atrocious.
I only like Gorse x Wind because of this map:
However in the book, Windstar in particular, was unbearably annoying to read about.
