I am in love with the art for this series. In this volume especially it creates such an enchanting atmosphere. The story continues in an interesting way. The pacing feels a little bit off but it could be that I’m used to ready this one weekly. A high point of this volume is the relationship between the main character and her cousin. It artfully displays Camille’s guilt and conflict. I cannot stress enough how incredible the art is in this aspect. I’m excited to see the rest of the story adapted!

After reading Volume 1, I was really looking forward to continuing Camille's story. Volume 2 picks right back up where we'd left off and somehow manages to nearly immediately retain high stakes as Camille looks for a way to protect her cousin. It was really nice getting a lot more background info on not only Camille but the people around her, especially Dendro and Nyra. There was somehow a lot of information covered in this volume, giving us crucial character lore and changes in interpersonal relations, but the pacing felt a bit off in a way I can't quite put my finger on. The time span covered in this volume compared to the last is a much shorter time frame but so much is happening all of the time. The art was as good as in Volume 1 and had some great standout panels particularly during some of the later emotional scenes. Whereas at the end of Volume 1, I wanted the next part of the story in order to learn more about Camille now I'm left hoping to read Volume 3 in order to dig into not only Camille's story but the broader witch politics and more info on side characters and demons.

Thanks to NetGalley and Ten Speed Graphic for the ARC to review, all thoughts and opinions my own. As requested, reviews will be posted externally during the week of publish date across platforms.

I’m loving this story! I love the art style and the characters. I’m fully invested and I can’t wait for the next volume!

This is my second time reading Muted - I read it in the original webtoon format the first time. As an adaption of that format, I think it does a decent job updating the paneling for book readers. I feel the thoughts characters have is quite realistic, especially when it comes to grappling with anger, grief, and regret. It's always been really stellar at showing that. The art style is beautiful. However, this volume suffers from some awkward pacing that makes it feel like not much progress is made over the course of the volume, despite big events happening. Still worth a read imo (obviously, I've read it twice!)

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Teen Speed Graphic for the arc of this graphic novel!

Just like the first volume, Muted 2 completely pulled me in and I loved it! Miranda Mundt continues to deliver a story that’s rich in atmosphere, magic, and character growth. The world feels even more layered this time around, and the artwork is just as stunning, moody, expressive, and beautifully stylised.

The relationships deepened in really satisfying ways, and I loved seeing the emotional stakes rise. There’s a great balance of tension, tenderness, and intrigue that kept me turning pages. If you enjoyed the first volume, this is a must-read continuation, which of course I do not want to go into too much detail since this is volume 2!

Can’t wait to see where the story goes next!

Muted Volume 2 by Miranda Mundt was truly a beautiful and heartbreaking read. Camille finds herself struggling between finding herself and sacrificing herself more for those she loves. However, in this volume she seems to be on her way to finding herself more, but she can barely find control over her forbidden powers which poses another hurtle for her to overcome. Setting up boundaries (and not magical ones) is new for Camille, but she is finding her way through it. Dendro, Nyra, and her Aunt Sylvie are helping Camille along the way by providing her a strong foundation of care to stand on, but her Aunt Athalie still tries to weasel her way through to continue to control Camille and her cousin Avaline. I cannot wait to read the next volume for more! I found myself consuming this graphic novel in one day because I couldn’t bear to put it down. The story and the artwork are beautiful and it brings many good messages to the forefront.

I love how the story continues. the art stays amazing just like in the first novel. It seemed to take a bit more of a serious and exciting turn then the first volume which got me even more in a grip to keep reading.The situational face expressions are great to lighten the mood from time to time. I was sad to see that it already ended. I am already waiting for the third volume to come out!

Muted Volume 2 felt a bit different compared to volume 1. We learn a lot more about Camille's past, which is a welcome addition to the story. We also see her explore her powers and really grow as person. While the overall plot did move forward somewhat the pacing felt slightly off. Simultaneously a lot happened, but the overall plot didn't move forward all that much. Some parts felt like they were more there for exposition rather than woven into the story as was the case in the first volume.

As always the art is gorgeous and portrays the range of the character's emotions. It was good seeing Camille grow closer to both Dendro and Nyra. I'm ready for more answers like learning more about Athalie's past and her reasons for doing what she thinks is right. This mostly feels like one of those middle volumes that is setting up for what is next, and I am eagerly looking forward to volume 3!

Muted: Volume 2 picks up just after the last installment, and just as exciting, The plot thickens just as our protagonist finally gets a break, the characters are great. We get to know some very important backstories/lore, so I can't wait for the next volume please!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this graphic novel. While I did enjoy the continuation of the story, this volume fell a little short for me when compared to the first. It felt like an interlude before something big happens. I did like the exploration of the relationship between the cousins and the family dynamics involving the aunt. I have some…thoughts about that aunt smh. She is a piece of work.

I was so excited when I got the email from netgalley that I was approved for volume 2 after I fell in love with volume 1! I will say, volume 2 didn't feel as exciting to me. Not sure why, but it just felt like the stakes were lower.

I did enjoy seeing Camille and Nyra's relationship progress a bit! And I liked learning more about Dendro, and the demon following Camille!

I think that the ending felt a bit disappointing and I felt like it didn't wrap up all the way (hoping this means there will be a volume 3?)

I would like to see what happens to Aveline, more of Camille and Nyra's relationship, and more of the Leroux...

Overall I thought it was good, but not nearly as captivating as volume 1. Once again, the art was absolutely beautiful!

Volume 2 of Muted was just a stunning continuation of Vol 1. You begin to see the setup for relationships for Camille and you get to see some of her joy - but there is such a harsh juxtaposition in some of the darkness that this graphic novel holds.

As a long time lover of the Webtoon I love the updated illustrations, layout and that there are new panels I have not seen before. The very last bonus pages about Dendro's home planet were just so, so pretty. Dendro is my favourite character - and this volume is pretty heavy in her development which was just extra nice for me.

This volume gives you more of an insight on the demons found in the series and really sets up the big intrigue of who is the mastermind behind the deaths of Camille's family for new readers. It pulls you in and just makes you want to continue, and the final page before the cut to Dendro is just perfection.

I yet again highly recommend this to anyone who loves queer romance and dark stories. A+

I will say my downloaded copy had what looked like a layout error on page 171, unsure if that is just an error on my end though and I spotted a spelling mistake - but I'm certainly not a stickler for a single missed letter at the end of a word. This is more of a heads up to the publisher just in case.

I’m falling in love with these books and I’m in desperate need of the next one ! Some of the scenes in this book had be laughing out loud, had me feeling for these characters, had me loving these characters and wanting to protect them. I’m gonna need the next installment or I fear I might explode

This is he second installment in the Muted series.
This volume volume includes episodes 28-50 of the webtoon.

This volume had a bit slower pacing, but that does not mean it was not fantastic. The pacing is slower but you are getting more info on our favorite witches and our flowery familiar. We also get more world building that really does connect all of our characters and the plot together.

Camille is becoming aware of herself, her powers, and the past that she had long forgotten. Nyra becomes a more central character as well and the dynamic between them is sweet and empowering, and gives you the warm fuzzies and shows how some one can push you to be your best but also bring out the parts of you that you keep locked away.

The more we learn of the past, the more we start to question what really happened to camilles family, and what it may mean for the future.

While Camille is growing, she does not want to grow apart from her cousin. She realizes that she was being held back and stifled from who she is and she does not want that to happen to her cousin, some one she long felt more as a sister. She wants her cousin to feel freedom , love and happiness , just as she deserves.

The ending to this volume made me wish i could grab volume three right away. The cliff hanger will leave you holding your breath.

I really do love this series and cant wait to get the next volume.

Thank you NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press | Ten Speed Graphic for the digital ARC for review.

I’m in LOVE with this series!!! I seriously can’t get enough of these characters and their crazy lives! I feel what they feel and all the sadness, confusion, hurt, and hope. I am so thankful to have been approved for this arc for the second book because of how much I truly enjoyed the first as well! This series is for sure going to be many people’s favorite graphic novel! I can’t wait to get my hands on more of this world!

I am obsessed with this series, the more I read it the more I am wanted to know how Camille is going to survive battle between finding out her own truths and id she is going to fall back into old habits.

I am really enjoying the world building and just find seeing all the characters grown in their own ways, I was not ready for the cliff-hanger we have been left with so I am waiting for the 3rd volume as I am desperate to know more.

This was a 4/5 for me as I just felt like something was missing but I have enjoyed the journey so far!

Thank you NetGallery and Miranda Mundt for the ARC read.

This is a compelling continuation of the enchanting graphic novel series, delving deeper into the complexities of magic, family, and self-discovery. Building upon the foundation laid in Volume 1, this installment enriches the narrative with intensified emotional depth and vibrant artistry.

I enjoyed the continuation of the vivid and expressive artwork. The illustrations maintain their bold and vibrant aesthetic, effectively conveying the characters’ emotions and the story’s magical elements.

This volume delves further into the intricacies of magical abilities and familial relationships. Camille’s journey of self-discovery and empowerment is portrayed with nuance, as she navigates new powers and confronts familial expectations.

In addition to that, we are able to delve deeper into some of the characters presented in the first volume. The development of new characters, such as the plant demon Dendro and the charming Nyra, adds depth to the story. Their interactions with Camille contribute to her growth and the unfolding plot.

This volume does explore more intense themes, including familial control and emotional trauma. At the same time, the volume was a bit slower than the last one as we are more focused on some of this character development and backstory.

Overall, this volume successfully builds upon its predecessor, offering a richly illustrated and emotionally resonant continuation of Camille’s story. I will definitely be continuing with the next volume!

This is the second volume of the webtoon. It is fast paced and has me invested to continue. I really like the art.

4 stars

This was such a good continuation of volume 1, I love the magic system and the friends that the main character has as much as it is a great in-depth storyline with stunning artistry, I also adore the underlying message of in a dark time your friends and those you love will be there with you which is amazing. I cannot wait for the next instalment of this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I really enjoyed how this series is going! I loved the growing relationships in this book, there is a lot more growth from the first volume to this volume with character relationships, including romantic, platonic, and familial.

The story and the drawings continue to be great and entertaining, and I’m looking forward to continuing this series where the next one comes out!
