Le Chant des Muses
Les Muses ont raconté l'histoire d'Hercule. Aujourd'hui, elles révèlent leur propre gospel pur.
Vivant dans un village tranquille avec leur mère surprotectrice, les adolescentes Calliope, Clio, Melpomène, Terpsichore et Thalie sont des artistes talentueuses... sans public. Si Calli n'en faisait qu'à sa tête, elle poursuivrait son rêve d'écrire des histoires épiques dans la ville de Thèbes. Mais la famille passe avant tout, et en tant qu'aînée, elle ne laisserait jamais ses sœurs bien-aimées derrière elle.
Après une représentation donnée devant leur petite ville malgré l'interdiction de leur mère, cette dernière révèle à ses filles un secret choquant : elle est Mnémosyne, la déesse de la mémoire, et depuis près de vingt ans, elle fuit les dieux de l'Olympe, désespérée de mettre ses filles à l'abri de leurs machinations. Avant qu'elle ne puisse en dire plus, elle est kidnappée ... et bien que les filles ne le sachent pas encore, le méchant qui tire les ficelles est Hadès, le Dieu des Enfers.
Sous la direction de Calli, les sœurs se lancent dans un voyage pour sauver leur mère et en apprendre davantage sur leurs propres origines divines. Mais le chemin à parcourir est parsemé d'épreuves et de tribulations mythiques, et elles devront compter à la fois sur leurs talents individuels et sur la force de leur sororité pour s'assurer de passer de zéros à héros - héroïnes, ou plus exactement.

Easily a new favorite Disney book!
Rochon perfectly captures the muses we know and love from Hercules the movie, and let's us see them in a new light. When their mother is taken by Hades, the girls have to work together to get her back. They face trials and tribulations where they will need each of their unique gifts to succeed.
I adored this story and related the most to Calli. Being the eldest sister, having to become the leader, the parental figure at times and most of all a role model - I understood her. Each of the sisters had such bright and vibrant personalities! I loved getting to know each one. I really hope Disney decides to add more books for these beautiful young women, there is so much more story to tell!

Cute story, just not really my thing. Definitely more middle grade than YA. It did make me want to rewatch Hercules though lol

I gotta say I really like that it opened my mind up to Greek mythology. I knew nothing about GM before reading this. It was also well written for the audience it was intended for. For me personally, meh lol
October 14, 2025
This book was great for a kid who wants to live in a Disney world. It’s so far from the standard of mythology that only a princess could survive in this world. And there isn’t even a princess to root for. Ugh. I wanted to like it bc I love Greek mythology, but it was just so saccharin.

La historia del inicio de las musas, como y porqué fueron creadas y como todo eso se vino abajo en algún momento en la historia.
La primera parte del libro me recordó mucho a "Percy Jackson". La ambientación, la mitología y el humor me hicieron sentir como si estuviera leyendo una versión moderna y femenina de las aventuras de Percy.
Sin embargo, a medida que avanzaba la historia, mi interés comenzó a decaer. La trama se volvió más predecible y los personajes perdieron parte de su encanto inicial. Sentí que la historia se volvía demasiado "Disney", con una trama simplista y un final demasiado conveniente (todo se resolvió por el poder del amor y la amistad) Vibes de My little ponny.
La segunda mitad del libro se sintió como un descenso lento y constante. La trama perdió fuerza, los personajes se volvieron planos y el humor se volvió forzado. Esperaba mucho más de esta historia, especialmente después del prometedor inicio.
Tenía el material para ser un librazo, ósea dioses griegos, personajes mitologícos años y años de historia que pudieron haber sido explotados, entonces si me decepcioné un poquis.

Al centro del romanzo ci sono Calliope, Clio, Melpomene, Tersicore e Thalia, cinque sorelle adolescenti cresciute in un quieto villaggio affacciato sul mare, lontane da ogni pericolo… o almeno così hanno sempre creduto. Ognuna di loro porta nel cuore un dono artistico straordinario, un talento che pulsa come una scintilla divina. Calliope, soprattutto, sogna qualcosa di più grande: storie epiche, avventure da raccontare, la città di Tebe come orizzonte dei suoi desideri.
Ma l’equilibrio della loro vita cambia improvvisamente quando la madre, sempre premurosa e protettiva, confessa un segreto inimmaginabile: lei non è una donna qualunque, ma Mnemosyne, la dea della memoria. Da decenni è in fuga dagli dèi dell’Olimpo, nel disperato tentativo di tenere al sicuro le figlie e il potere che portano dentro di sé.
Prima che possa spiegare davvero ciò che significa essere figlie della memoria, Mnemosyne viene rapita. E il responsabile è Ade, il dio degli Inferi, in una versione oscura, ardente e pericolosa, che apre le porte a un’avventura mozzafiato.
È qui che la narrazione esplode davvero: Calliope prende in mano il destino delle sorelle e le guida in un viaggio pieno di creature mitiche, prove impossibili, enigmi, alleati sorprendenti e verità nascoste. Le cinque giovani muse non cercano soltanto la loro madre, ma scoprono pezzo dopo pezzo la loro stessa natura divina, la storia dei poteri che portano nel sangue e il peso – e la bellezza – di essere parte dell’eredità dell’Olimpo.
Uno degli elementi più affascinanti è il legame tra le sorelle: un intreccio di amore, battibecchi, forza e vulnerabilità che Rochon racconta con una delicatezza vivida e autentica. La loro unità è ciò che permette alla storia di brillare davvero, trasformando ogni ostacolo in una tappa di crescita collettiva e personale.
L’autrice riesce a rendere la mitologia accessibile, modernissima senza perdere il fascino antico. È un libro che sprigiona ritmo, ironia, avventura e un senso costante di meraviglia.
Bemused. Il canto immortale è un romanzo che parla di arte, coraggio, famiglia e destino. Una storia che invita i ragazzi (e non solo loro!) a scoprire che il vero potere non risiede nel dono divino, ma nel modo in cui scegliamo di usarlo.
Un viaggio epico che incanta dalla prima all’ultima pagina.
Un canto immortale, davvero.

I FINALLY finished this! 🎉🎉🎉 It's a bit of a feminist story, but the girl power themes aren't overwhelming, and it balances nicely with the Greek setting. I was a little disappointed that
February 20, 2025
This was exactly what I needed this book to be: whimsical, humorous, and empowering. I don’t always connect with YA books, but this one absolutely did the trick. Those scene-stealing Muses from the Disney classic, Hercules, are just so entertaining. Their creation, their unique roles and talents in Greek mythology, and their special connection with humans - all of it! - was captured well here. It’s about time we got their story.

— This was a cute Disney YA novel. I loved reading the backstory of how they came to be.
— Reading this story made me want to immediately go and watch Hercules on Disney+

Tbh i'm stuck between 2.75 and 3 stars. It's okay. I knew it was YA going into it, but this is definitely on the more juvenile end. It's cute, especially if you are a fellow 90's kid who was obsessed with Hercules. I did appreciate some of the mythology tie ins and the ending. I don't know that I would necessarily recommend this. Unless you are into middle grade/YA fiction.

The Important Highlights
This is a Disney retelling of the muses from the animated version of Hercules. This is a standalone novel that utilizes Greek mythology and sisterhood-driven adventures to bring a deeper understanding of the world created by Disney. This is a YA story.
Content Warnings:
My Unhinged and Messy Thoughts
I didn't enjoy the audio as much as I hoped but I did enjoy the story in general. It felt like a lower stakes novel, due to it being YA in nature, but it was interesting all the same. I liked learning the backgrounds of the secondary characters from the original Disney story.
In Conclusion
If you're interesting in Disney stories, then this should automatically be on your TBR, but if you love the idea of getting different perspectives to already beloved stories, this is a must read.

Hercules might be one of my favourite Disney movies EVER! Yes, Greek mythology is butchered all throughout the movie and yet they keep on showing that they know they're making a mess of it. So, when I saw that this book was released, I had to order it right away. And I loved it! The author did an amazing job giving all the muses their own personality and characters traits, while also keeping their power as a whole. I also love how the author managed to write so many Gods into this story. We got to see a little more of Hermes and Apollo, of course Hades was his Disney self and there were even some smart remarks alluding to the original tales. Normally I'm not a big fan of having characters run all over the place without a clear direction, but in this case it fit and it allowed the author to sneak in some very classic Greek mythology challenges. If it were up to me, this book could have easily been a series consisting of at least three installments!

It was cute! Disney’s YA books have a tendency to read as more middle grade than true YA, I’ve noticed, but the story is compelling, the characters are lovable, and it’s a fun little bonus piece if you enjoyed the movie “Hercules.”

3.5 ⭐️ Definitely Greek Methology with a Disney Filter. I'm here for it, though. Cute story of how the muses came to be. I enjoyed it.

Bemused by Farrah Rochon is a standalone YA fantasy that gives us the origin story of the Muses from Disney's Hercules. This was a light read without much substance. It was the perfect book to read on vacation, and I found it moderately enjoyable, but nothing impressive.
We start by following the pov of Mnemosyne, the mother of the five muses, as she creates her daughters and hides from Zeus. We then follow the five muses: Calliope (Calli), the muse of epic poetry; Clio, the muse of history; Melpomene (Mel), the muse of tragedy; Terpsichore (Ree), the muse of dance; and Thalia, the muse of comedy. We get to know them all, but we only get pov chapters from Calli and Ree. Mnemosyne keeps them isolated and doesn't allow them to showcase their talents to anyone outside the family, but when the girls are old enough, devise a concert for their village on their mother's birthday. Doing so alerts their existence to Hades, who wants to use them in his pursuit to defeat his brother Zeus. Hades kidnaps Mnemosyne, and the girls must work together and discover their abilities in order to rescue her.
This was a pretty straightforward and predictable story. It is listed as YA, but I would put it closer to middle grade with how simple the writing was. I found a lot of the actions and "twists" to be telegraphed. Do you remember the Disney channel animated Hercules tv show? It kind of read like one of those episodes.
I didn't dislike the story, but there wasn't much to sink my teeth into. It was a light and easy read, that I think might be a good way to introduce Greek mythology to a younger reader, but I don't think I'll be going out of my way to read any other Disney books any time soon.

Thanks to NetGalley & Disney Press for the early copy in exchange for an honest review. Sadly, I DNF'ed at 40% of the way through.
I didn't feel like the sisters had distinct enough personalities to be interesting and it was just...really slow yet fast? A lot of stuff happened quickly but it wasn't really all that interesting. The author did nail the Hades voice, but his chapters were short and few. :(

So I needed some time to dwell on the book and think about how I felt about it. And truthfully, I have to agree with some of my other readers. It is a very cute book. I love how other gods have been touched and talked about in it. However, I don’t see this as YA at all. I’d say more along the lines of maybe 6th - 8th grade if anything. I was hoping for a little more action or more… drama in the story. It’s definitely a more.. child Disney than a YA storyline.

Have you ever wondered how the Muses from Disney’s Hercules came to be? Because they have always been all of my favorite parts of the animated movie. When they came on screen, I was sat. Any chance I got growing up, I played their songs. They made that movie as epic as it is… and this book brought them to life once again.
The Titan Mnemosyne (who is also the Goddess of Memory) isn’t like her brothers. She doesn’t want to take over Olympus or kill and destroy. She wants to be a mother. When she comes to Zeus with an idea of who and how she wants to create her daughters, she also erases the memory of herself and her plans from everyone’s minds. She wants to live a simple life and not be a part of the God’s squabbles.
As the girls grow up, they grow into themselves and their powers begin to flourish. Where their mother has wanted them to be out of the people’s sight, they have become who they were always meant to be… which, of course, catches the eye of the worst God of them all: Hades.
This was a mythological journey to the Underworld, which always seems to peak my interest and then keep my attention rapt for the duration of a book. I started it today and ended it today, so you know it had to be good. Getting to know the Muses from childhood to becoming Goddesses themselves was exactly what I needed and wanted from the book.
10 out of 10, would recommend!

Farrah Rochon’s Bemused is a clever and lighthearted reimagining of Greek mythology that had me smiling from start to finish. With its amusing plot and sharp dialogue, the story blends ancient myth with modern flair in a way that feels fresh and relatable. Rochon shines in her portrayal of motherhood and sisterhood, grounding her divine characters in real-world emotional depth. The relationships between the women are heartfelt and authentic, offering a touching reminder of the strength found in family and chosen bonds.
What truly sets Bemused apart is Rochon’s vibrant figurative language and the nostalgic call backs to Disney’s Hercules—a beloved childhood favorite of mine. These references are sprinkled in with care, adding a sense of familiarity and charm for readers who grew up enchanted by those animated myths. The result is a story that feels both new and comforting, like stepping into a world you’ve always known but are seeing through a fun, grown-up lens.
Bemused is perfect for readers who enjoy mythology with a twist, especially those who appreciate witty banter, strong female leads, and a touch of nostalgia. Fans of romantic comedies, retellings, and character-driven stories will find a lot to love here. It’s a great pick for anyone looking for a feel-good read with depth, laughter, and a dash of the divine.

This book was a fun read, and that’s the gospel truth! I’ve always thought The Muses were the best part of Hercules (aside from Hades’ bombastic comedy), but this takes my love for them to another level!
I loved learning about these characters. Calli & Ree are definitely the standouts with Thalia coming in third, and Mel and Clio becoming side-characters so as not to pull focus from the more in-depth POV characters. Hades is also heavily featured and very well written. I would’ve appreciated a little bit more description on each of The Muses. While a bit repetitive at times, we do get to know each of their gifts quite intimately throughout their journey.
There’s a point in this book in the last quarter where it kind of just feels like the whole story didn’t really matter but that it was about the lessons we learned along the way. I thought that was kind of a cop-out. I wish there was a little bit more purpose outside of character development for the middle-chapters to have existed. It left a poor taste in my mouth.
The ending was really well done and especially satisfying to see these sisters come together. I’d highly recommend this to any fan of Greek Mythology or the world of Disney’s Hercules

This is a book I’ve been waiting for and didn’t even know it since I fell in love with the movie Hercules as a kid so many years ago. Told from the perspective of The Muses, we get to know each Muse and sister individually aswell as a collective and learn about their unique gifts and what makes them all so special.
When their mother is kidnapped, the five sisters set out on a journey of discovery to learn about who they are, what they can do and how they came to be while finding out their connections to the Gods of Olympus in an effort to save their mother.
SO good, I loved it. Each character was relatable and loveable and the storyline was brilliant. 5⭐️
