Best Answer

Companion novels tend to use the same characters but have completely unrelated plots. Sequels tend to carry the story from one to another.

A companion novel is a standalone story that is set in the same world as a previous book but features different characters and plotlines, while a sequel continues the story of the previous book with the same characters and settings. Companion novels can be read independently, whereas sequels typically build on the events and characters of the original book.
