The book is only about 800 pages and the story being covered in this series only starts about halfway through. Each season so far has only covered a couple of chapters in the book, so they're filling in a lot of details along the way.
Because the book is written with an unreliable narrator (or three), the showrunners have a lot of freedom to do whatever they want so long as they hit the high notes.

Thanks for that! So the show writers are trying to fill in the blanks but keep writing the same thing over and over haha.
