Best in plot: Dovewing's Silence, dealing with the direct aftermath of a horrific event is something we don't see that often and is very interesting to see.
Best in character development: Hollyleaf's Story. Seeing her go from being genuinely afraid to going back to the Clans, to accepting her past and choosing to go back on her own accord is amazing.
Best in villains: Mapleshade's Vengeance for the POV BEING a villain. Tigerclaw's Fury is a thing but it shows him being nice lol.
Best in pacing: Goosefeather's Curse. The "timeskips" being only a moon or so makes sense. The rushed feeling of the book is perfect to show Goosefeather's rushed life. The ending also gives me chills.
Funniest: Ravenpaw's Farewell. Bella, Riley, and their two grandpas arguing like a married couple ('cause they are one) is a hysterical dynamic.
Best main character: Tie between Daisy and Goosefeather. **holds them gently** Daisy for sticking to her values of helping ANY struggling mother and/or kits, despite a rocky past, and Goosefeather for showing the consequences of going through so much, and everyone thinking he's crazy. I feel you, man, I feel you.
Best ending: DOTC. Shaodwstar's Life showing SkyClan and ShadowClan's fates solidifying her legacy is amazing. Also Goosefeather's Curse showing Gooefeather's helplessness about his "gift" is chilling to the bone.
Best overall: Goosefeather's Curse is a masterpiece.
