Query: Slow and unsure

This is my first read by Jane Kirkpatrick. It will most likely be my last. This book really was such a slow read! I actually had a few conversations with friends about this book stating that I need to be ok with putting aside a book that I really do not like. I usually try to always finish a book I start. This one I wish I would of done this. Loose ends were hanging all over the place. On page 313 (of my hardbound copy) we get the idea that one of the main characters (Ruth) is finally going to get to meet her foe, then on the next page it is is just idle chatter. It makes no sense, though I read this section over & over trying to get the drift. Thinking is there a page missing, did I turn two at once etc. I found this book really just paragraphs of this & that with VERY weak characters, I did not cheer or hate anyone in the book. Blah. I gave it a rating two only because there was a bit of history in it that was interesting but even this was weak and perhaps a tad too fabricated.
