Line 2:
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.
== The books so far are
# Urchin of the Riding Stars

{{examples}}
* [[A Nazi By Any Other Name]]: Husk seemed intent on turning Mistmantle into a facist dictatorship with himself at the helm. He couldn't stand any deformed animals (he ''killed his own brother, wife, and attempted to kill his own illegitimate son, {{spoiler|Juniper}}'') and had any that were reported deformed killed, even when their deformities couldn't be a drain in any way and eventually animals that aren't deformed at all.
*
* [[Anyone Can Die]]:{{spoiler|Almost all of the kings on all of the islands die by the end of the series. Even Crispin.}}
* [[Armor Is Useless]]: Almost no one wears them, apart from the occasional helmet, even though all the Tower Animals use swords.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Silverbirch's island hates squirrels that are colored like Urchin, mainly because of a prophecy that one would bring down a ruler.
* [[The Good King]]: Crispin. Also Brushen before his son was murdered.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: ''The Heir of Mistmantle'' with the squirrel that began hallucinating and thought that Crispin and Cedar's daughter was hers and tried to leave the island with her because she thinks that Husk is still in power and will kill her like they did her real children.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: In the later books, [[Tear Jerker|darn near once a book]].
