Query: A book desperately in need of an edit

I tried to read this book. I got 350 pages into it before I allowed myself to give up. I have multiple friends who simply love this whole series, but I was bored out of my mind. It goes on, and on, and on, and I just don?t care about any of these people. Plus it's supposed to be set in the 18th century, but the setting seems much more medieval. The Scots were not this backwards! Most of the reviews gush about the lush detail and historical accuracy. She can't even get the clothes right. It might have made a decent 300-400 page book, but there simply wasn't enough there to carry it for 800+ pages (let alone multiple installments of 800+ pages). I?ll stick to Bernard Cornwell and Sharon Kay Penman when I want history, and Georgette Heyer when I want historical romance (all of whom are far superior writers).
