Can I just say that this series are one of the best series written ever? It is the only book that I've actually cried over (Noughts and Crosses) when nobody's looking.

Toby
I can't believe that she was going to do it. That she was actually going to truly do it. But she was. And she almost did. I can't seem to get that out of my head. Callie Rose, my Callie Rose, was actually prepared to blow herself up for the uncle she hardly knew. I can't believe that she was actually considering killing herself to please a man who doesn't deserve the satisfaction she was going to give him.
I know that Jude only went for Callie because she was venerable. He knew that Callie had no male role model, no father figure in her life. He also knew - the little backstabbing fiend - that if Callie knew that he was her uncle (which unfortunately he actually was), of course she would want to stay in contact with him.
Why would she pass up the opportunity to know a man who was missing for most of her life?
Everything Callie did was to please Jude. That's the blunt truth of it, and he knew that too.
I doubt that Jude has ever loved anyone, least of all Callie. Not like I love her. I don't see how he could, with the LM; his work pretty much took up everything in his life.
If Callie had succeeded in being a suicide bomber, I don't know what I would do to Jude, but it wouldn't be at all good.
Too bad for him.
Callie
I can't believe that I actually told Tobey about it. I told him about everything, about Jude and my Dad, but most of all about how I came so close to being a suicide bomber. At the time it made so much sense… But I now know the truth.
About my Dad, about my grandfather, but most of all about Jude.
Jude was prepared to see me kill myself for his own benefits. I don't know if he ever felt any love for me, and I guess that I'll never know. I do know that I love him, even now, when I should probably hate him for what he almost made me do.
It still puzzles me how a human being can do that to someone else, let alone their own niece.
I'd like to think that if Jude hadn't had anything to do with the LM, then he would have been a respectable uncle and someone who I desperately needed in my life as I grew up. But I think that he had nothing, so the only something in his life became everything. I'm only sad that that something wasn't something more forgiving.
I just want you to know that I still love you, Jude. And I probably always will. You are my uncle, and even though you did terrible things, family is meant to be forgiving. So that's what I'm doing, Jude. I'm forgiving you.
I just hope that you can hear me, because I can still hear you. I can still hear your voice as you whispered those last words of praise to me, and I can still hear you as you assured me in comforting tones, of what I was doing was going to do was right.
I'm sure that there's enough people all over the world and above who are already cursing you and your evil deeds, so you don't need to hear that from me. Just know that you changed my life, and made me someone who I never used to know. I've come so close to dying that I still don't know what I was thinking as I listened to you.
So I'm letting you go.
Goodbye, forever, Jude.
Please read & review!
Lots of love,
