Individual books do not inherit notability from the series themselves being notable, especially when you have a series that is known for having a fairly large amount of books, which the Deltora Quest series as a whole does. This could redirect to the specific Deltora Quest 2, however I note that this page lacks coverage in reliable sources to show where this trilogy is specifically notable outside of the main series. Just as individual books do not inherit notability, the trilogies or sagas that occur within long running series also do not inherit notability and the main reason for the trilogy page to have an article would be to decrease the load from the main series page, although I think that this information could mostly be summed up fairly well. However that's not the focus of this AfD, the specific book is and I can find nothing to show that this individual book has received any coverage in independent or reliable sources per . This is pretty common when you have series with a large amount of books because there's usually just too many for most outlets to review. It can happen, but it's usually with overwhelmingly notable series like Diary of a Wimpy Kid where the release of the books are a major event. Chapter books like Deltora Quest usually get released with little fanfare because they're released at such a breakneck pace
