Top Twenty Most Anticipated Novels of April 2013

Each month, The Ranting Dragon brings you a list of the twenty most anticipated releases. Unfortunately, due to other obligations, we failed to bring you a list for April.

For those of you who missed our list and are in desperate need of April releases to read, here is a simplified list of our twenty most anticipated books released in April:
