New Books I Can’t Wait to Read

I am excited for a lot of these novels and can’t wait to read a bunch of them. The one I will be reading first will most likely be Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner, the third book in the Fallen Gods series. Whenever an author includes gods and monsters, I am always tempted to read the novel and I loved the concepts by Kaner in her series and can’t wait to see how it all ends.
One of my shortcomings is that I haven’t read many books by Robert Jackson Bennett. He is a talented fantasy and sci-fi author but his novels can be long at times. That will be a goal of mine this year and I will be reading his latest series before the end of the year!
Concluson
There are a bunch of incredible new sci-fi and fantasy books releasing in April that are worth checking out. Series like Fallen Gods and Shadow of the Laviathan are getting another book in the series or you can give a new novel like Notes from a Regicide or any other novel from the list. Happy reading!
