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?

    Dresden files slowly begin to get better. There’s some cliche tropes I agree but it goes some interesting places/ the stakes get way higher/important characters die…

      Yet Dresden is still Dresden. I got 10 books deep and he is still a creep. Some MCs just ruin the stories they are in.
