Sequels by a different author/creator

Inspired by #3, have you read any sequels that were made by a different author? What did you think?

(Movies/TV/games/etc could also count, it’s just so much more common to have a different team working on follow-up installments.)

Personally, I enjoyed And Another Thing, the Hitchhiker’s Guide sequel by Eoin Colfer. And I haven’t read Death Comes to Pemberly, but I remember enjoying the TV adaptation.

I'm looking forward to Winds of Winter by whomsoever his estate chooses to do it.

Yeah, he says it is in his will not to; but if his estate chooses to disregard his wishes they are fully entitled to do so.

I read Scarlett, the authorized sequel to Gone With the Wind and it was... bad. Everyone had a character transplant and moved to Ireland.

Kind of... The writer Elizabeth Peters has a longtime series about a family of Egyptologists in the Victorian era, but after she passed away, her estate had her friend and assistant finish the last novel based on her notes or something. It... wasn't good. An attempt was made, I can see that. But it was a pale shadow of what the characters were and not worth it.

On the other hand, I've enjoyed some of the Sherlock Holmes sequels written by Anthony Horowitz and Lyndsay Faye.

Didn't really enjoy Death Comes to Pemberly, though. It was an okay mystery, but didn't feel very Jane Austen. It's hard to do both.

Way back, I tried reading the Pamela Cox(?) continuations of Enid Blyton's school stories but I never finished any of it. She just had no grasp of the characters, which is quite the feat condsidering most of them have very few but very distinct character traits.
