(I think Shadow Touch was my favorite, followed closely by Eye of Heaven. I also loved The Last Twilight, but Vern did not. Wild Road was a DNF for me, but it might have just been my mood.)
Liu has amazing concepts, great heroines, but she also has emo heroes. The hero/heroine usually fall in love almost right away and then the rest of the story keeps you wondering if they will get together. IE, most of the conflict is external not internal. Which is cool if you are into that (and she does it well) but every once in a while, I want the main characters to not look soulfully at each other throughout the entire novel.
