Why is this shows pacing/timeline so weird? Book readers help!

I am enjoying the show so far however the pacing and timeline of it is so odd. 3 seasons in and they are still chasing a book that was discovered in episode one...and then even after the timewalk, Diana and Matthew are suddenly okay being apart while he goes to New Orleans for weeks apparently and the congregation is nowhere to be seen chasing them down even with Diana and their side having 2 pages of the book. Where is the chase for Diana that was the cliffhanger for season 1? Where is the family loyalty of De Cleremont over the centuries? Suddenly Marcus is in love with a human he met once at an auction house and tells her everything? Does he even crave her? Suddenly Baldwin betrays them and the Lazarus knights hold no value? Suddenly Gallowglass is in love with Diana and has been secretly watching her for 30 years? That just makes her aunt and parents seem so oblivious. The whole time loop doesn't really make sense. Suddenly Matthew has a long lost dead gay brother? Not to mention Louisa was written off as fast as she was written on. Why does Jack seem so weak and immature even after living for like 500 years? Where was the blood rage then? I'm assuming they are going for a "Jack the ripper" reference but it doesn't come across too well. I'm starting to feel like the writers just gloss over details and introduces characters to drive a subplot but the depth of the connections of those characters are lost and never touched on again. Even Kit had a secret gay thing for Matthew that they hinted but never really expanded upon but his obsessive love actually came across better than Marcus' or Louisa who was mentioned for like 5 seconds and seen for like 5 minutes. I've never read the book but even I can see how rushed it seems. Can someone who have read the book provide additional details that maybe the show glossed over? I'm where Matthew convinces Ransome to join the scion but its been a struggle getting back into it with all these odd subplots and random characters. Yet we still barely know anything about the book or why creatures are dying out after 3 seasons...its become a bit silly a bunch of creatures chasing down a book for centuries that a bunch of witches, human and vampires found within a year or two since it all began.
