 * Keep - The book meets WP:NBOOK criterion 1 since it has received at least three reviews (which I added to the article). Fearstreetsaga (talk) 17:05, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG, in addition to reviews in the article Vox has also been reviewed by The Horn Book - "Though it starts slowly and speeds too quickly through the finish, the story is vivid, imaginative, and well plotted.", Voice of Youth Advocates - "Vox, the sixth episode of The Edge Chronicles, concentrates on the decaying Undertown. ... episodeFull of surprises, the series will again satisfy its readers with intricate plot lines, imaginatively created creatures and landscapes, and its incredible illustrations.", Reading Time - listed here, and School Librarian - "listed here".

 * , all the reviews at https://kcls.bibliocommons.com/item/show/532920082 seem to be personal ones and thus could be dismissed as trivials under WP:Nbook. http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/book-reviews/16194472/vox-edge-chronicles has no reviews whatsoever and is just a catalog of the book.
 * http://lookingglassreview.com/books/the-edge-chronicles-vox/ also seem like a trivial review from a personal site. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 19:49, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * KCLS and WCCLS are library catalogs that are reproducing the Booklist and VOYA reviews, which would normally be behind paywalls, in full. The WCCLS URL isn't stable but if you search the catalog the review does indeed appear there. I can tell you through my own database access, which reproduces the pages from Booklist, a RS review journal, that the KCLS reproduction is faithful.

 * Edit: Hmm the reviews at https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/show/892661143 does seem to be on the short side and I personally don't think it meets the definition but others might disagree. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 20:17, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

 * hi, EBSCO provides, amongst other things, a listing service of book reviews that may be available from a reader's local library (via a subscription service), so, for example, opening up the 1st ebsco source states that there is a review of Vox in Reading Time of February 2005. Reading Time is the journal of the Children's Book Council of Australia, the peak australian body of children's literature in that country. the other ebsco listing that i mentioned above states that there is a Vox review in the winter 2003 edition of School Librarian, the quarterly publication of the UK's School Library Association. to the suggestion that the reviews may be too short, i am reminded of the various forms of poetry and that although Haiku is extremely short, the poet is still able to get their message across:)) ps.agree with you about lookingglassreviews, hence why i didnt mention it.
