"not have been quite so confident if she'd known that..." spoiler about another character follows.

"unaware of it at the time... would hold their fate in his hands within three days" total loss of any suspense in that thread of the narrative.

"if they'd known what was coming... the horror that was to follow" aaaargh!

If this continues the book is going to be a DNF. sigh
A little foreshadowing can build suspense. Too much though...
