IIRC, Evil Chicken was only in book one. There was a lot of equally crappy prose, though. Le sigh. I have high pain tolerance.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

The shame, it burns. I DID stop reading after book 3!! Does that help?!
Crap I read a couple of those books as well, I don't remember anything about the chickens, but it has been awhile. Goodkind seemed to have a thing for dominatrixs? dominatri? I find I don't know the plural for dominatrix.

It should be dominatrices, but I assume it's probably dominatrixes.

That's probably the correct one, but it just doesn't sound right.

RE: Kings - not only AU. Actual signs and portents. Also signs and portents are direct communications from a definitely existing God. So fantasy over and above AU.

I've seen it written both ways. And yeah, Goodkind likes the red leather and pain thing. Lots of evil powerful women who just want to beat down the hero. And the powerful chick love interest ends up being violently raped.
I think that's when I stopped reading.

re: Kings. Is the Jonathan-David friendship a plot point?

I can't remember where I stopped. Another fantasy series I quit in the middle of.
