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?

    Same. I tried to read Colour of Magic a couple times and just could not get into it. After finding a read guide online I started reading the witches books and could not have loved them more.

      I’ve plunged into the Tiffany Aching sequence, I’m currently on I Shall Wear Midnight but I’m holding off The Shepard’s Crown until I’ve read the Witches books. And then, after doing some research, I’m plunging straight into Wyrd Sisters.
