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?
Kerstin Gier. Although I really enjoy a good YA book, I didn’t quite enjoy the Gen trilogy, I found it too primitive altogether.
Last month I read her latest book (Was man bei Licht nicht sehen kann, I don’t think it was translated to English yet) and at first I didn’t even recognise the author. I googled her and was really surprised that it was her who wrote the awful Gem trilogy, because what a development!
Nowadays she is able to create sophisticated fictional world and the fantasy elements were actually believable. Can’t wait to read the next parts of the latest story.
