Tone/Mood

The tone of my book, The House of Hades, by Rick Riordan, is serious. Now that Percy and Annabeth have fallen into Tarturous, the team is scattered and is missing to of their leaders. "Just like that, they fell into the never ending pit" (Last page of prequel to this book, Riordan). The mood of this book is helplessness. This is because the author writes the book to make it seem like there is no possible way for the demigods to win. Annabeth swayed Percy's beliefs when they first fell into Tarturous, and they fell into the river made of pure misery. When Percy was about to give up, Annabeth convinced him otherwise. Her tone was loving toward Percy, so that he could gain the strength to continue.
