Are there any authors you have a love-hate relationship with? Where you love some of their books and they're among your favorites, but you hate others and they're some of your least favorites?

Steven King. I love his characters and their arcs and the world building but he has let me down on the endings of hos books so many times that I nonlonger read his work.

I came here to post the same comment. The man writes general conversation and human interaction like a genius but the endings are just woof.

GRRM. Used to love the guy's writing but now I wish I could go back 10 years and not buy all his books in hardcover and not watch the first seasons of the show multiple times.

His mishandling of ASOIAF was the straw that broke the camel for me. I stopped watching/reading anything that isn't completed. I don't think I'm the only one either. Used to be cases like Firefly were rare... now netflix is canceling every other show after 1 season cuz they're clueless.
