A series in the same vein of animal fantasy as ''[[Redwall]], [[Guardians of Ga'Hoole]]'', and the like, ''[[The Mistmantle Chronicles]]'' focuses around Urchin, an oddly colored squirrel who is washed up on the beach of the titular Island inhabited by moles, otters, squirrels and hedgehogs on a night of falling ('Riding' in the book's universe) stars. Most of the books take place on the generally isolated island, since 'those who truely belong on Mistmantle cannot leave by water and return by water {{spoiler|except for Voyagers}}, and deal with a lot of internal strife, especially inside Mistmantle Tower. Keeps most of the animals [[Animal Stereotypes|acting like they should]], meaning while hedgehogs may eat cakes and drink wine, they also enjoy bugs. Written by a minister's wife.

* [[Anvilicious]]: Again, written by a minister's wife. YMMV depending on your beliefs, of course.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]:{{spoiler|Almost all of the kings on all of the islands die by the end of the series. Even Crispin.}}
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[Battle Couple]]: Crispin and Cedar, Arran and Padra.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Crispin has quite the long fuse, being able to take {{spoiler|murder accusations and serious critisims of his wife and kingship}}. Once you [[Moral Event Horizon|cross that line]], however, Heart save you.
* [[
* [[Demythtification]]: The only 'magic' comes from the Heart, and only manifests itself in prophecies or riding stars for the most part.
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Husk and Aspen seem to genuinely care for each other.
Line 32:
* [[Old Soldier]]: Lugg
* [[Oracular Urchin]]: Myrtle, though she's not creepy. Just a little hedgehog that makes predictions through pictures she didn't realize she was creating.
▲* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: Averted. The books take place over several years. The first one begins with Urchin first becoming a page. The last one ends with him {{spoiler|and Sepia about to get married.}}
* [[Put on a Bus]]: All of the soldiers on Team Husk at the end of 'Riding Stars' were shipped away to random islands.
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: Urchin and Needle. Being separate species helps.
