The article is long enough, new enough, and neutral with no copyright violations. The article is reliably cited. The plot section is unreferenced, but adding references to it is not a requirement because the book is the reference for the plot. The QPQ is complete. The hook is directly cited.

Coming to promote this, the hook source is no longer available, but more importantly, the Cheltenham Literature Festival article is so poor that it is not worth linking to. Could not you have a different hook such as

ALT1 ... that on publication in 2016, DanTDM: Trayaurus and the Enchanted Crystal topped best seller lists in the United Kingdom and the United States? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:28, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

I have updated the original hook in the article with an (archived) source. That aspect of this process should be fine now.—♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 13:46, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Replacing tick for the original hook as the hook fact cite is now archived and I have improved the other article to which the hook is linked. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:40, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
