were there any plot points or characters you were genuinely stunned to see be mentioned again?
for me, i was very surprised that not only did jacques and susan return, but the writers and editors remembered that the apprentice they murdered (talonpaw) was actually rowanclaws apprentice. i was also surprised but very pleased to see characters like snake, ice, and brick appear in graystripes vow

Agreed on them remembering Jacques and Susan, and how they remembered Rowanclaw's hatred of them after they killed Talonpaw. I genuinely thought that the editors had forgotten they exist, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Ashfur's xenophobia towards non-Clan cats (Rootspring, Tree, and the Sisters) in Darkness Within when he's being interrogated by Hawkwing and Tigerstar II. Later on in Darkness Within as well, when Ashfur tells Rootspring that there's always a warrior ready to "steal" from him, which is referring to his line in Long Shadows where he says that Brambleclaw was the cat who "stole" Squirrelflight from him. There's also the striking resemblance between how Brindleface died, and Ashfur's attempt on Sparkpelt's life.
Brick, Snake, Ice, and Snipe being remembered and put in Graystripe's Vow.
Tigerstar remembered as Mothwing's father being mentioned in Veil of Shadows.
Tawnypelt's and Stormfur's friendship in Tawnypelt's Clan.
Shadowstar being the first Clan leader to lose all her lives. I believe it was an offhand comment in Secrets of the Clans but Shadowstar's Life just went along with it.

I love how they cross paths with Graystripe's Vow and Shadow in RiverClan, I expected it to be different but they ended up being similar, although probably because they were released in the same year.
Another callback is all the Ashfur business with him going against non-Clan blood.

Graystripe's Vow was a goldmine for callbacks. My favorite has to be when Graystripe thinks that Spotfur has the exact same facial structure as Frostfur. Thank you for the character design tips, Graystripe! [Spoilers for the TPONS excerpt]: I thought it was really funny when Twigbranch and Finleap looked super guilty at the news that their former apprentices left to become kittypets.

Not sure if this counts as a call-back but in The Forgotten Warrior, when Sol is being driven out in the tunnel battle, he makes a reference to SkyClan without mentioning their name as he's whining about how the Clans are so mean to him. Dovewing was narrating this one and she's briefly confused about it but SkyClan doesn't come up again until AVOS.
