Anyone know how much experience these authors are?
They're both very reliable. I haven't read anything by Johnston, but her non-IP "young adult" novels are well regarded, and she knows her way around IP, having written four Star Wars novels.

Johnson (no t) is the big news, in my opinion. She has five published Forgotten Realms novels under her belt already, including some really good ones. And her book will be the first Forgotten Realms novel since 2016 that doesn't feature Drizzt and isn't aimed at kids. That alone is very exciting news to those of us who like that sort of thing.
 


Both are coming out in Febuarary 2023 before the movie comes out.

Keyleth is a Elf Druid frpm Tal Dorei, the CR setting, Doric is a Tiefling Druid, so I expect besides a love of nature they will be very different. Likr Doric will have to deal with anti Tiefling biogtry likely.

Druid's Call is targeted at Young ADULTS so it's still for adults.

Still I loved the Broken Chain books so looking forward to The Road to Neverwinter. Also curious if these books will be bigger then most D&D books given they aren't trilogies.

Considering the growth of YA fiction in the past twenty years, YA generally means no really graphic sex or violence but anything else is on the table. It's kinda the difference between R and Adult Accompaniment.

Couple series i've seen like Maze running and divergent had plenty of bullets to chest, bullets to heads, bullets to wherever. Though only one or two kisses on the lips.

Yeah, pretty much. Honestly, the difference between YA and A is really, really slim. I think the largest difference is often the age of the protagonist.
