OK so first of all I have to apologize for the super late comment, but yeah I've been busy with exams and making a really rushed set of my own. Anyway, these two sets are fantastic!

Cas first:

Adventure has gorgeous coloring (the sky blue looks particularly lovely) and the wide, symmertric crop really works. I love that this icon has a sort of video game feel to it, because of the emptiness of the scene and the vivid colors.
I adore BW on color! Such a fun icon to look at, and I love the unusual color choice, there aren't many bright orange icons out there so this is really cool and original. and I absolutely adore the grunginess and the texture use in general, especially how well it works with framing the text, it just sort of gives the whole icon a well composed look. The little outline on Cas is a great detail too.
Different character has lovely lighting, and Fire is just amazing, I really dig the blocking there and the lighting.
The coloring and contrast in Friendship are stellar, I love how it's sort fo muted in contrast and has lots of beige, but then there's the really vibrant lime green and it really pops. Guess Who is definitely among my favorites, it's such an artistic, creative icon with a lovely mysterious look, and I love the silhouette use and the deep purples!
The lightings and colorings of Laugh and Nature are really beautiful, and I love the creativity of No Eyes and Water. Water has some incredible composition going on, I especially love the combination of colored and bw blocks, and I really dig how out there the texture use in No Eyes is, and how it looks like a paper where someone just ripped that part off :D Lovely toned down contrast and coloring too!

The pale tones in the category are really well executed and I particularly love the lighting and natural tones of Pale Green and the buttery yellows in Pale Yellow, they're really gorgeous. My favorite category icon has to be pale Pink though; I reeeaally love the muted magenta of the background (it fits gorgeously with the muted browns of Cas!) and the fabric pattern looks great.

I love how cohesive the ac set looks, great choice to go with grungy monochrome closecrops! AC3 one is incredible, I love the brightness and contrast in it a lot, as well as the paleness and the crop. Then again the texture use in AC1 is superb too.

AND THEN THERE'S THE LES MIS SET!! Yay, I'm just so happy to see icons of it by you :> They're gorgeous! And asdsdfdsfg yes you made some of Valvert ♥
Some comments per category:

Action/Adventure - I freaking adore the bright greens in Distress! It has amazing lighting and texture use. The crop and coloring is Escape are stunning, and the 3rd one is fantastic! Such a fun concept, and well executed too with great coloring. The whole icon has a really powerful, dynamic vibe to it, which is just awesome :>

Comedy - This icon is just so gorgeous, LOVE the coloring and how bold and unique the texture use is.

Mystery/crime - Both of these have lovely lighting and mutedness, and the crops are superb, especially in the 1st one!

Romance - Gorgeous compositions in these! Ever after has excellent coloring, i love the green/turquoise. My favorite of these is the Valvert one though, so gorgeous!! I love the wide crop and the blocking and the vibrant colors together with the black and white.

Drama - Struggle has such gorgeously original coloring, I love how light it is. The other two have great use of levels, I particularly love the lighting of the second one and the text in the 3rd one (LOVE THAT QUOTE AAWWW).

Science fiction/fantasy - Journey is absolutely stunning! The coloring and lighting are just divine, I love the greens and yellows. Love the wide crop of the 4th one too and the yellows and greens work just as awesomely in that one.

Ok, that's all for now! I'll definitely save some of the Les Mis icons :>
