She might not have written it, but her name is on the cover, and if that's the case, I'm sure she had some input & is most certainly getting some sort of licensing compensation.
My daughter didn't like the book, she said it used a device to change up her favorite book of the series. That said, she also said it's like fanfiction, because it changes things to what someone felt should have happened.
Also, a non-spoiler reviewer commented that this was meant to be a play and was written that way, rather than as prose. Plays (as anyone who has had to study Shakespeare in class knows) are meant to be seen, not studied to death as a mere text. Study them in context, in the way they were intended.
