I'm pretty much with Harry on this one, although for different reasons.

For me, any series tends to be enjoyed as much for the style and consistent (albeit still evolving) view of the world and characters as anything else. I've rarely enjoyed the move to a new author in the same universe, it just doesn't feel like the same story/world any more, not to me. The few times that I've seen high quality work in such shared-universe stories I mostly just regret that they didn't spend their time writing something of their own.
