This is the book to read if you are looking for a queer witchy story. I need more!! This firts installment was the perfect mix of a spooky yet heartwarming storyline. It's a great introduction to a lore and world building that has all the potential to expand. The representation of queer characters was fantastic, I'm looking forward to see how these storylines develop.

I really enjoyed getting to know how each family is different, even in themselves and the familiars were great companions.

I love the themes of identity, grief and forgiveness, and self discovery both in your family circle and outside of it. It was full of mystery as everything is new to the reader yet satisfactory with the answers you get at the end.

It will keep you intrigued and excited to see what comes next. I might have to look it up in webtoon soon!

Thank you to NetGalley, Miranda Mutt and Ten Speed Press!

I need the rest of this series immediately. I am obsessed. The story is an emotional rollercoaster. A little dark at times but still heartwarming. I am in love with the diverse cast of characters and the artwork is beautiful! Also, it's SAPPHIC! I  cannot wait for more

what a great first installment! the colors and illustrations were phenomenal for the storyline. I wish we got to see more of the sapphic storyline, since that’s a main reason why I requested the graphic novel on NetGalley. but I suppose that’ll be in volume 2? I hope?

This was a fun, kind of spooky, witchy story that has me excited to read the next volume of. I like how this story is about finding yourself and making a path of your own. I like the characters and cute familiars. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous. even the darker scenes.
I like how Camille is unsure of herself and her place, but as the story progresses she becomes more determined to find out where she belongs and follow her own path in her witch society. I enjoyed learning about how the witch society work, how they get familiars, and how the different families work. I like how Camille's aunt? Cousin? Godmother? truly only wants what is best for her and wants to protect her from her aunt and the courts, which would likely want her dead. I like how warm and welcoming her father's family is.
I truly enjoyed reading this graphic novel and can not wait for the next volume. I'm excited to see Camille and Nyra's romance blossom. I'm excited to see how Camille's magic evolves. I'm really excited to see what goes on with the demon haunting her. Honestly, this was a great, pretty fast read with stunning graphics.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ten Speed Press; all opinions are my own! <3

magical, suspenseful, lovely characters and deep but also funny dialogues!
i loved its worldbuilding, original but not too complicated to follow as the story (rapidly) evolves. i was intrigued, wanting to know more and the pacing of the story was perfect: fast, but without rushing.
i’m 100% sure i’ll read the sequel, and in the meanwhile i’ll be busy recommending this cute, witchy grapic novel to everyone!
also the drawings and the colours were absolutely amazing

What a magical story!
I really enjoyed my time reading story and breezed through it in a single sitting .
When reading an illustrated story the style of the drawing is very important for me, since I can’t get into the story if I don’t like the way things look. The illustrations in this story were absolutely beautiful! There were so many panels I just kept staring at, because of how beautiful they were.
The story itself I enjoyed just as much. I really liked the cozy, yet mysterious vibes and am super excited to see where things go in the next volume!
And even though the characters weren’t super memorable I still really liked them. And there is so much diversity without it becoming the main point of the story, which I always really appreciate.
Overall this was a really fun read and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next volume!

The graphic novel begins with a witch named Camille who is part of a family of witches – the
Severin family. Her mother died when she was 8 years old in a fire along with her twin sister
and no one really knew who committed the crime.

Camille needed to complete a summoning blood ritual but the outcome was not what she
intended. Her evil Aunt Athalie chased her away after the failed ritual and Camille now has to
spend 1 month in her family home to redo the ritual without her cousin Avaline and her Aunt
Athalie.

Tropes: Found family, a mystery, chosen one, hidden world, family secrets, newfound powers

This is my first graphic novel to review and I really enjoyed it and found the art to be really
beautiful. I felt that this novel ended on a cliff hanger and want to know what happens to
Camille in Volume 2.

Thank you NetGalley and Miranda Mundt for this e-ARC.

What a fantastic series start! Having read the original Webtoon, I was excited to read the updated-for-print version and revisit the story. It is BETTER than I remember and I am so happy for others to enjoy it as much as I do.

This is a rich world of witches, family secrets, demons, love, betrayal, and so much more that balances the dark elements with cozy aspects that make you grip the pages and never want to let go!

I have been a reader of Muted since it was just a wee baby Webtoon. Which then became a big, popular Webtoon before this final form of a printed book. I literally cried when the Webtoon came to its conclusion as a story I had been reading for years and was so invested in.

I adore this series. The art style is just beautiful and rich. The greenhouse scene with Dendro is probably my favourite - she's a favourite character of mine, her design is stunning and the background art of all the blooms and greenery just blows me away time. In general the background art is really lovely if you stop and pay attention to it. A swamp could be a kind of blah setting, but the team made it look so enchanting. The changes made between the print copy and the original webtoon are really thoughtful. This first book really lays down that initial introduction of the plot; following Camille as she navigates the truth behind who she is as well as your major plot characters and of course the main witch families.

I cannot wait to read Volume 2 and all future volumes. My daughter (13) has recently gotten in to webtoon and I told her the base plot and showed her some of the familiars (like best boy Toben) and she can't wait to read too. I think the length of the book makes you feel like you're getting your money worth while alsk being realky accessible for a range of ages.

I plan on purchasing the printed copies ASAP.

A supernatural graphic novel about a young witch coming into her powers and finding out family secrets.

Loved the illustrations, especially all the familiars! Lavender was SO cute 🥰

I would’ve like this to have darker vibes, even a darker colour scheme, especially considering the subject material. It was so bright and bubbly at times.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and Clarkson Potter/ Ten Speed Press for a copy!

This was an INCREDIBLE first installment to a series I am so excited to continue to read! I am such a big fan of anything witchy with the bonus of a mystery so I had high hopes for this one. Camille is such a complex character and I really appreciate that her grief and trauma wasn’t glossed over but rather really builds her backstory as to why she is who she is and how this has affected how she interacts with everyone around her. The pacing and illustrations were fabulous and both aided the story to guide the reader with such anticipation as the story progressed. I am interested to see how all the characters stories progress!!

This fell a little flat to me. There wasn’t enough backstory on the witch families for the events to have any impact. The main character felt very two-dimensional.

I really enjoyed the story and character development. Mundt writes a better story in graphic format than a lot of full length novels. The artwork was really good as well.

I ate this up in an hour, sat and didn’t come out of this world until the final chapter was finished. The art design is stunning and the characters are fleshed out and endearing.

Follow Camille as she begins to unravel family secrets from her past. I really like that you get enough information to flavour what the magic system will become whilst it not becoming overwhelming.

A really solid first volume, and after that cliffhanger I can’t wait to dive into the next one.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for the ARC.

This book was so good! As soon as I finished it I immediately downloaded Webtoon so I could stay up way too late reading the rest of it. I loved all of it. Redheads. Lesbians. Polyamory. Magic. Beautiful art. What more do you need??

Was this review helpful?

I loved this witchy sapphic graphic novel! The art style reminds me of a Webtoon I love called "Down to Earth" and its so pretty. The colors are vibrant and fun and the characters are so expressive.

I can't wait to see where this story goes and I'm looking forward to continuing the series! There are some intriguing plot points and characters that I'm excited to see develop. Of course, as this is only volume one, it acts more as a in introduction to the story and doesn't provide as much depth and growth but I know it'll come because it was such a great first volume!

I loved the bonus scene at the end, it gave a cozy, in the moment feel that put me at ease with the characters.

there's a mystery to solve about the main character and I'd love to see her grow into herself outside of her oppressive home. the characters are so lovable and diverse and fun and ugh i just love it, okay?

I would absolutely recommend this one to others! Thank you to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
