Spring is finally here, and with it, some warmer weather. While many of you will take this as an opportunity to get outside more and see your loved ones, I see this as the prime season for curling up in a sunbeam or sprawling on a picnic blanket with a good book. The real challenge is in picking what book.
Keeping up with the literary release schedule is tough enough, let alone sifting through all the titles to find ones that not only sound interesting, but will actually be good. If you’re looking for some of the best new sci-fi and fantasy books being released this April, I picked out a few that will appeal to a variety of tastes, whether you’re seeking an epic fantasy, a clever mystery, a philosophical road trip, or something completely different.
I’ve been lucky enough to get advance copies of a few of these, while others I plan to devour as soon as they hit shelves. See the best sci-fi and fantasy book releases coming up in April below!
