Kara Loo has written for ROE and TRR as head writer and was one of the writers in The Crown and the Flame series. Chelsa who is head of The Elementalists writing group was part of The Sophomore writing team. I think she was only there from TF till TS book 2. Several of her tweets wish the Junior team good luck cause she was working in something else. So there is some crossover. But I don't think that means that just because  some books share some writers from sucky books is a  bad thing. Sometimes things just don't work out in one book, but they flourish in another. Take Kara for example, I loved her contributions to The Crown and the Flame, but hated the ROE being dragged out... However I did like the first two books of TRR.
