The relationship between Cassia and her grandfather is very strong. She is able to tell her grandfather anything that she can't tell anyone else because he listens, understands and gives her advice. Cassia's grandfather played a major role to open her eyes to realize what the society that they were living in was like through old poems that he tole her about. We can see how much she loved his grandfather who she trusted, if he wasn't in this novel, the story won't be as exciting.

I agree with SuAh. Cassia obviously had a strong relationship with her grandfather, that sadly ended when he had to die since he reached the age limit of living. I wished that they would make an exception on him, but of course the Society has to follow the rules to live a "perfect" life. Her grandfather could've helped her later on with her Ky situation, and she could've shared her poems with him.
