Article name edit

I don't have time to figure out how to mark pages for renaming, but the correct title of this book is Orb Sceptre Throne (i.e. without the commas).

ISFDb lists zero reviews for this and I am not seeing anything good. Pinging User:Cunard, User:Daranios, before an AfD. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:48, 1 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Piotrus (talk · contribs). Here are some sources about Orb Sceptre Throne:

  1. "Orb Sceptre Throne". Publishers Weekly. Vol. 259, no. 13. 2012-03-26. p. 62. Archived from the original on 2023-06-03. Retrieved 2023-06-03.

    The review notes: "Subplots too dense to summarize will make sense only to longtime fans, but those familiar with the series will find this a worthy and satisfying installment."

  2. Flanagan, Margaret (2012-04-15). "Orb Sceptre Throne". Booklist. Vol. 108, no. 16. p. 29. Archived from the original on 2023-06-03. Retrieved 2023-06-03 – via Gale.

    The review notes: "Readers unfamiliar with the intricacies of the Malazan universe will have a difficult time keeping up with the multitude of characters, many of whom have appeared as peripheral figures in other Malazan books, and should probably be advised to begin with Erikson's 10-volume Book of the Fallen series before tackling any of Esslemont's offshoots. On the other hand, Malazan junkies will feast on this latest offering."

Thanks. I see two capsule reviews and a plot summary. Very, very borderline, I am afraid, given the reviews currently used in the article don't meet RS or are not independent (Tor). Hmmm. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:22, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
