I don't think I'll forgive the author for ending the story when she did. That being said, what a wonderful introduction to the series! Muted follows Camille, a young witch who prepares to summon a demon as part of a ceremony that every woman in her family does when they come of age. Except, it goes very wrong. I love the characters and how their relationships are set up. Parts of the magic system remind me of The Tea Dragon Society, but the cozy aspects are overwhelmed by a darker magic. This book deals explores belonging, self-expression, and coming-of-age themes. I cannot wait to read the sequel.

I had forgotten about this webtoon for a while, I had lost my account so I was very excited to find out that it was getting a published book! It was just as good as I remembered. Hope everyone else enjoys it too, thanks Netgalley for the access!

Muted is not only a magical portrayal of grief, loss, and healing. It is also visually stunning and heartfelt in a way the still stays with me after reading it

4⭐️

The art work for this graphic novel is absolutely stunning. The colors are bright and colorful. The illustrator did an amazing job capturing the scenes and moods.

This a pretty solid start to this series. A story of a young witch finding herself after tragedy. Also finding out about family secrets that helps explains who she is who she is.

I enjoyed the characters and the plot so far. We didn't find out a ton in this first book but it made a solid start to the foundation for more books to follow.

Thank you to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for this advanced reader copy. My review is voluntarily my own.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read Muted: Volume 1.

The story starts in New Orleans and is about a young witch named Camille. You'd think a story about witches in New Orleans would be cliché and over done but Miranda Mundt tells the story in a way where it doesn't eel dull or over done and leans into the setting to tell the story. Also, the artwork is STUNNING and its the story perfectly.

I have not read the Webtpon so I am not sure how this version differs from the original, however, I really loved this so far. This is a story about a girl who has lost her mom in a fire and been under the care of her abusive aunt since. I don’t want to spoil too much of this but I’ll say it’s a really beautifully drawn story and really interesting. The world building is good and I find myself intrigued by all the various characters. Can’t wait to read the next volume!

Great artwork with a great premise of a graphic novel. A soft DNF for me currently, but one I do hope to return to within the next few months.

I am not giving a true star rating as I intend to return to the book and give a true rating then.

Another approved NetGalley ARC! I remember reading this on Webtoon when it came out a few years ago and I was entranced. Seeing it in a more refined graphic novel makes my heart happy! These sapphic witches make my heart happy and so does Toben and Beignet (the familiars). Breaking generational curses, found family, and a mysteriously deadly secret are some of the themes of this graphic novel series. I’m excited to see Camille (the FMC) grow as the novels continue. The art is so stunning as well and easily flowing dialogue that is easy to follow.

Thank you NetGalley and Miranda Mundt for the ARC! All thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.

I haven’t read lots of graphic novels before but it’s a genre I want to delve into more and I loved this one. The illustrations and art are absolutely stunning and evoke so much emotion and power. The storyline is intriguing with diverse and interesting characters that I want to know more about. I’m excited for volume 2 to find out what happens next!
Overall, I had a great time reading this and it was really beautifully put together. Will definitely be pre-ordering a physical copy for when it’s released!

After the tragic death of her family, Camille never really fit in with the family that took her in, and that's for a very good reason. Filled with the yearning of needing to know oneself with light sapphic tones, this is a cozy quick read for any witch at heart.

I really enjoyed the foray into this witchy matriarchal story and am looking forward to the next installment!

This. Was. AWESOME!

I can't remember if I enjoyed a comic this much lately - I read it in one breath.

It is full of magic, finding oneself, and a lot of dark, but also light and humorous moments.
It's a perfect balance in my opinion.

I am so invested in the world, and a lot of things are left to be fully developed in further books, which I can't wait for! I absolutely love the inclusivity of all possible groups in this book. It was done so flawlessly, too (mentioning this because sometimes it is done forcefully to meet a quota...).

The artwork and colouring were so vibrant and magical. They added another dimension to this graphic novel.

I am already holding my breath for book 2, and book 1 isn't even out yet. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for granting me this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

It took me a bit to be drawn into this story, but once the plot picked up, I was hooked.
I want to know everything about Camille's past and her future. I love the mystery behind her past and what it can mean for her. Plus a found family can't ever go wrong.

I have been loving all of the webtoons being published in physical form lately, so when I saw this one I knew I needed to give it a try. The beginning starts out so dark and depressing, but it really did a great job setting up the rest of the story. It immediately throws you into the story and does a good job of letting you know which characters you are going to hate right away.

I was not expecting the demon at the end, and I loved it. I can’t wait to see what happens with them next!

I hope we see a lot more of the LaCour family In the next volume.

An amazing book with relatable characters. The content warnings were welcome. There is abuse mentioned.

Cammie is torn between fulfilling obligations to her aunt or following her own path. She is light and dark combined into a beautiful person. The art work will draw you in as will the diverse characters. I really loved this comic and look forward to reading the other volumes.

This was a great intro to a fantastic witchy series. I really appreciated how the author established the differences between magical households almost immediately, making it very clear that where lines were drawn. The additions of the little familiars for each witch we encounter was too cute, especially Toben and little Lavender. I can't wait to see where this series goes!

"Muted" by Miranda Mundt completely captivated me—I devoured everything from the rich world-building to the sapphic yearning, to the heartfelt discussions around grief and finding independence later in life. It’s whimsical yet deeply relatable, making for such a lovely read. I was so hooked that I immediately ran to Webtoon to finish the rest. I couldn’t recommend it more!

Trying to figure out where you belong within and outside of your family is a familiar feeling for many young people as they enter adulthood. However, most aren’t expected to summon demons with blood magic.
This book had everything I was looking for; magic, mystery, and a decent dash of queer. I found the world building around the different magic families interesting. I felt as desperate as Camille to find the answers about her past and the expectations surrounding it.
The artwork really enhanced the story. I thought the flowy nature of the illustrations matched the magical vibes of the narrative.
I love a good sapphic story as well, and this story is set not to disappoint. The interactions between the characters are fun and quirky, especially between the main character and potential love interest. “It’s okay if you… like plants.”
My only critique was the pacing of the story. I expected it to be fast-paced, but it moved a bit too quickly, leaving me with some questions unanswered or confusing me with sudden shifts.
Overall, I would recommend this for anyone searching for a fast-paced modern-fantasy mystery. I can’t wait to see what book 2 brings us.

I thought this was a cute read. The story has an interesting plot and the characters are nicely fleshed out. The one down side is there are many typos.

Thank you to Ten Speed and NetGalley for this ARC. Due to be published July 8, 2025.

The art is really cute and the story is nice, its a quick read.
However there are some typos, they did kinda bother me, there were only two, but over all it probably shouldnt bother even tho if this is gonna get published they should probably fix them.
