What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?

I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?

Sarah J Maas, about Throne of Glass series.

Yes! I had already brought the first ACOTAR book but decided to get into the Throne of Glass series first. I hated it. So much that I was going to just get rid of the first ACOTAR without reading it. I’m really glad that I discovered it was a (loose) retelling of Beauty & the Beast and so decided to give it a shot - since I love fairy tale retellings. Now ACOTAR and the Crescent City books are some of my favourites to read and reread. Can’t wait for House of Flame and Shadow!!
