Thank you, author, publisher, and NetGalley for Providing me with an eARC of the book.

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this book, and I was literally overjoyed when I remembered it's a webtoon and I can just pull up the app and finish the series!

This is book is fasted paced and the excitement never lulled. At some points I did feel like the main character was giving 'I'm not like other girls' but in the end I think they're angling for a breaking generational plot line not manic pixie dream girl break the status-quo. I will be finishing out the series later today on webtoon, so I guess we'll see. Definitely looking forward to it.

I received an e-arc of Muted: Volumes 1 and 2 from Netgally in return for a honest review. I read both volumes in one sitting. My rating for Muted: Volume 1 is a 4.25 stars and Volume 2 a 5 star. I will review them as 1, so there will be no spoilers for the second volume.

The artwork is stunning. Some of the images depict very dark themes, so if you are easily triggered it is best to look at trigger warns like, but not limited to, death of family members, abuse, and mental illness (like PTSD, though not clearly stated but shown through character reactions). The story itself is your basic good versus evil and though I think I can easily suss out where the story is headed, it did not take away from my enjoyment of the read. The story is strong enough on its own but coupled with the gorgeous artwork it really comes alive.

Camille's aunt takes her in after a tragic fire leaves her without her mother and twin sister. Quickly we see the effect Camille's aunt has on her mental well being. Where the story shines is in its depiction of Camille finding pieces of herself while finding out who she is and who she wants to be. The dangers she faces, though come from both inside and outside of her own family. It is clear that Camille will have to find the strength she didn't know she had while forging new relationships and learning to trust herself and others. I am not sure when the next installment will be but I will be waiting to see where Camille's story goes.

The first few pages of this story had me going, seriously? It felt a bit overdone, but that quickly disappeared and I found myself flying through this story eager to read more. It's tough at times, and dark, but full of hope and some really gorgeous art. Honestly though my favourite part was the rep, all the glorious rep! We got queer characters, bipoc characters, disabled characters! All there, all just existing in the world without having to justify or apologise for the space they take up and I fking LOVED that. I'm excited to see where this story goes, I'll be looking out for vol 2.

If you like witches, sapphic romance and beautiful art this book is for you! It was totally out of my comfort zone but I loved the story! The main character discovers so much about herself and together with the beautiful use of colors it sucks you into the story! The characters were very diverse. Now I have to read volume two because that cliffhanger has me intrigued!

Camille is a witch. There is a family ritual to summon a demon and make a wish. Her type of witch is a blood witch. The blood witch are high society and while she lives with her aunt, she’s been trained for this moment, but knows things are going to go wrong. Camille is left with another family member after her disastrous demon summoning to find who they are, what it means, and what has happened in their life. Camille barely remembers anything before the fire that took her mother. Now it’s her chance to find the secrets that everybody’s been keeping. The artwork in this book is amazing. It’s easy to follow. It’s bright. It’s colorful, and it really draws the reader into the story.

Muted: Volume 1 is a stunning and fast-paced graphic novel that introduces us to Camille—a young witch trying to find her place in a magical world that doesn’t make it easy for her. She lives with her cousin (who she’s super close to) and her aunt (who, let’s be honest, can’t stand her), and it’s clear from the start that Camille’s life is far from simple.

She’s struggling with her powers, feeling like an outsider in her own family, and slowly uncovering secrets about her lineage and the rare type of magic she possesses. I absolutely loved learning about the different witch families and the unique magic each one holds. There’s a mystery at the heart of Camille’s story, and it grows darker and more compelling as the plot unfolds.

One of the best parts of this volume is watching Camille’s support system and self-confidence grow. The diverse cast of characters is a breath of fresh air; each one feels distinct, and they all bring something special to the story. And the art style? Beyond gorgeous. It’s vibrant, expressive, and brought so much emotion and energy to every scene.

With moderate-to-high stakes, good worldbuilding, and a fresh take on modern witches, this was such a strong start to the series. Also, it’s apparently setting up for a sapphic poly romance? Let’s GO - I’m so here for it.

Thanks to NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for the ARC.

The artwork in this was absolutely stunning! Seriously, even if the story had been awful (which it wasn’t by any means) I would have given this 3 stars just for that.

Add in an interesting story about witches and I’m in love.

The only thing that stopped this from being a 5 star for me was the ending. It was abrupt. I wouldn’t even call it a cliffhanger really. It’s like the author wasn’t sure exactly how to end it so just picked a random scene to call it good.

That being said, I will for sure be purchasing this when it comes out in July and can’t wait to read book 2.

The artwork for the story was beautiful and bright! I liked the story overall, but found there to be a lot of unneeded scenes in my opinion. I hate that it ends on a cliffhanger but that is what’s made me want to read part 2 when it comes out.

This is adorable and I LOVE IT! It’s funny and cute and it made me feel really good reading it! This is a great start to the series and I can’t wait to read the rest of it!

This was such a great start to a series! I already am intrigued by the characters, the story line is well written, and I can't wait to read more! The humor in this is spot on, I was laughing out loud multiple times, and a few moments of kicking feet cuteness between a certain couple of gals. This is definitely something I will come back to and keep an eye out for future publications!

Muted Vol 1 blew me away with an intriguing story, gorgeous artwork, and characters that immediately feel real and raw.

I wasn't familiar with the Webtoon version before picking this up, and can honestly say it absolutely works as a graphic novel. The art lends itself to full pages beautifully and I really enjoyed how much the character and setting designs added to the storytelling. You instantly feel the vibes of every scene and every emotion as it happens, which kept me immersed throughout.

That said, the story was the highlight of the book for me. There are several twists and turns that kept me reading, and I couldn't help but connect with Camille and her journey of self-discovery at a crucial point in a witch's life. All the characters felt well developed and had depths and sometimes darkness that were worth exploring as the story moved on.

I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on Vol 2. If you're into witchy tales of self-discovery and found family, you'll likely love this one.

4.5 ⭐

I really liked the story. There's a lot of character growth with our main character as she discovers more about herself. It's witchy with many different magics included, I really like the way the magic system was briefly presented and I'm intrigued to learn more about all the different kinds. The art is beautiful and very well done it compliments the story perfectly. A really strong first Volume! I need to know how volume 2 is gonna go cause that cliff hanger has me intrigued!!!

This graphic novel is a fantastic set up for what's shaping up to be a strong story. The characters are extremely interesting with different family factions and powers that lend to each character we meet being unique. I loved the art style and color use and am looking forward to the next volume to see how this story progresses. If you like witches, mysterious pasts, personal growth and found family- this is the story for you!

This witchy, queer webtoon graphic novel was so addictive. Camile is a witch from Severin household. At age 18 she must perform summon-demon blood ritual for prosperity of the household. Unfortunately it hasn’t come as planned because of her being afraid to make a mistake, so instead a demon she supposed to summon, she summons something else...

It’s coming of age story about trauma, abuse and finding yourself with elements of mystery.
The art itself is stunning. And I can’t wait to continue with Camille’s journey in next volumes.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me the ARC.

I received this book as an ARC for free in exchange for an honest review, the book is set to be released on 8th July 2025.

I've dipped in and out of reading comics over my life, mostly due to accessibility, and everything from the cover and description drew me into this one! Muted did not disappoint.

It was so easy to escape into the world the author created, volume one did an amazing job of setting everything up with enough drama to have you desperate to continue reading and longing for the next volume already. It has the perfect blend of tough themes like trauma/isolation and sweet family bonds. I couldn't help but love the characters, everyone felt really well developed and distinct from another. And the illustrations? Would not change a thing about it!
I can't think of anything to fault this on.

It has been thirteen years since the mysterious fire at the Severin family manor that killed Camille’s mother and twin sister, and the last thing Camille wants to do is return to her old home deep in the swamps of Louisiana. But she doesn’t have a choice. Deeply ingrained family tradition and Matriarch Athalie—Camille’s coldhearted aunt and head of the Severin household—demand it. 

I am again in love with a fictional character...sigh. Camille reminds me so much of growing up as a mixed-race, lesbian child. Never knowing where you belong but always feeling just a little wrong. Camillefeels like that because she just can't seem to be what her aunt wants her to be. She knows she wants more, she wants something different but she doesn't know herself well enough to know what that is.

Watching her try to find her way, holding my breath and waiting for that joyous moment she finds but clutching my pearls in fear that she will be found out and suffer even more.

Yup....Miranda Mundt has me hook, line, and sinker. Skipping what ever else I had planned to read next and on to vol. 2

Highly recommended, the art work and the story are mutually beautiful.

As of late, I'm trying to get into graphic novels, so when I was on NetGalley and saw both Muted Volume 1 and 2, I was so excited.

What I enjoyed about this book was all the subplot. We got mystery, magic, a touch of sapphic relations, and the illustrations are just so beautifully done!

This book feels very timely but modern (if that makes sense?) I think the illustrations and plot gives the reader a hint of both. The plot kept me reading (and also longing for a Lesbian moment between the demon and Camille).

I’m always on the lookout for witchy and/or magical stories and this one did not disappoint! I’m invested in these characters and I love the illustrations! The magic system is interesting and I can’t wait to learn more as this story goes on!
