OKKKAAAYYYYY, so the beginning of this was boring. It lost all of the momentum that the first book had. Then the middle to end portion brought this book back to life. I liked this one, I don't think it was as good as the first due to the pacing and the enormous amount of typos, but it offered just enough that I will read the second in the series.

This book covers a range of topics that need to be explored in traditional literature and graphic novels. I'd pick up the second one for fun, but I would not go into it with high expectations.

Thank you NetGalley and Ten Speed Graphics for the ARC.

This is Volume 2 of an amazing WebToon and it was just as lovely as Volume 1. If you are a fan of the webtoon then you already know this is for you. If you have never heard of the webtoon but are looking for a beautifully drawn graphic novel with an amazing story this is for you. Muted continues to be a 5 star read for me. The story continues with Camille learning more about her past, works on expressing herself and starts to journey to be happier being herself.

I really liked Muted Volume 2, just like I did the first one. Miranda Mundt does such a good job of creating high stakes and building up the tension. Even more than the first book, this one had me so nervous about what was going to happen next that my stomach was churning the whole time.

Camille’s life story is absolutely heartbreaking, and finding out what actually happened to her mom and her twin sister was awful. It hit hard. I have a sneaking suspicion about who ordered the hit, but I’m waiting for the reveal. The way the story unfolds keeps me guessing, and I appreciate how tightly it’s written.

I also really liked Dendro’s night mode. The character designs in general are pretty simple, but they’re really nice and effective. I can only hope Avaline gets to know some peace eventually, because she deserves it.

Honestly, I’m half tempted to go read the rest on Webtoon instead of waiting for the next volume. I really want to know what happens next.

I was so excited to be able to get an advanced reader copy! Since reading Vol. 1 I have been anxiously awaiting the next portion of our journey. I am loving how this story is progressing. The novel is so easy to follow and flows so nicely. We are also met with a wonderful story of finding yourself after times of struggle mixed within a magical and wonderful world of witch families.

A mixed follow-up with strong characters but a slower pace

I read Muted Volume 1 about two months ago (around February), and it was hands-down my favorite read of that month. Unfortunately, Volume 2 didn’t quite live up to the same standard for me.

While I still love the characters—who remain compelling and well-written—the pacing in this volume felt slower, and it took a bit too long to reach the more exciting or emotional moments. The ending also left me feeling unsettled and a little frustrated, which dampened the overall experience.

That said, the heart of the story is still there, and I appreciate the depth given to the cast.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this sequel. This review is my honest opinion.

A 3 star read!

Thank you NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for the ARC!

Continuing off volume one, this volume also delves into darker themes like family abuse, self harm, self deprecation and the potential what ifs the characters feel. The characters felt so real and raw, and they way they process their emotions and help one another through their problems. The book was so hard to put down, I ended up reading it all in one sitting. This volume gave depth to so many characters and showed that not everything can be categorized in black and white because of the things they experienced. I can't wait for the next volume!

*Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy*

I really enjoyed volume 2! I enjoyed volume 1, but I think 2 is my favourite between them.

The art style is just so fun and I love the colours. The characters themselves are drawn in a way I love!

The story itself picks up right where volume 1 left off! I loved the story itself.

Overall, highly recommend this graphic novel series!

Once again, the art in this blew me away! And all the details of the story… It was so good! I loved this installment, and I loved delving deeper into the world and the magic system. Absolutely amazing!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read the ARC!

The second volume did not disappoint, the story is unravelling a little bit slower than I had anticipated but by doing that there is more time to just rest with these characters.

New additions include love interest Nyra and the sweetest demon you will encounter Dendro. Camille is coming to terms with the tragic passing of her parents and starting to understand where this places her in the witchy hierarchy. Whilst her aunt is trying to shove her back into a cage of rules she continues to grow (pun intended) into her powers and herself.

Really excited to see where this goes next. Thanks to NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for the ARC.

I loved this volume way better than the first one. This one was able to suck me right into the story and i was very invested. Loved the art as well, very beautiful

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC! This volume was even more beautiful than the first; the colors and the chapter artworks were gorgeous! I enjoyed the further exploration we got of Camille's backstory along with Dendro's, and the former's developing relationships with the girls around here were heartwarming and healing. Looking forward to the next volume!

Absolutely stunning colors and layouts for volume 2. Getting more into the heart of the story with all the relationships really forming is one of the best arcs. Dendro is one of my absolute favorite characters and getting her intro and origin story layers out so beautifully is fantastic. This will be a beautiful book for any witchy sapphic comic reader.

One week into her month-long respite from her controlling Aunt Athalie, Camille receives an unsettling call blindsiding her with news of her arranged marriage. But when she stands up for herself and her freedom, she creates a rift with her beloved cousin Avaline and gains an uncontrollable new ability triggered by overwhelming emotions. 

AGHHHHHHH! NO! I need to know what happened tp Camille and her new found love...don't leave me hanging Miranda Mundt!

Ahem...so the second volume of Muted is even more emotional and entralling then the first. I was hoping this was a 2 part story but I left with tears in my eyes and screaming for closure.

Vol. 2 gives many answers to the who and why of vol. 1 but then...please let there be a vol. 3, please.

the art of Vol. 2 is even more beautiful thn its predecessor and worth every minute of the time you take to read this.

Highly recommneded. Expected publishing date is Oct. 14, 2025

Thanks to @netgalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press/Ten Speed Graphic for the opportunity to read this eArc in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Muted, Vol. 2 is an continuation of the story that evolved in Volume 1. For me, it was much darker and there were ZERO trigger warnings for the content, which is unfortunate, because this is billed as a YA/teen read and there should at least be some warning of what's to come.

TRIGGERS: suicidal thoughts, threat of arranged marriage, self-loathing, parental control, parental emotional abuse, mentions of death and suffering, mentions of violence

For me, the plot was a lot darker than the previous volume, which made this volume feel really heavy and intense. There were very few places to get an emotional breather from the darkness. I appreciated that there was a lot of plot in the story, but it was so heavily focused on violence and pain that it was exhausting to read.

Overall, the plot and characters are good, but there were still issues with the execution:
1) there are still editing issues within the text
2) while the meaning of the title appeared, it wasn't *actually* explained. There was a hint that it might mean taking away Camille's powers, but it was so vague that there's no context for what that really means.
3) Again, I wasn't a fan of the ending. It was sudden and lacked that point of interest that would make

I'll probably read the next volume, but I'm not sure if I'll still feel that way when it's eventually released. I find the plot a little forgettable, to the point where I might not remember why I'm interested when Volume 3 releases.

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.

a beautiful queer (poly sapphic) coming of age story on found family!
one week into her month long visit with aunt sylvia, Camille and Dendro (flower demon) work together on camilles powers slowly growing but still uncontrollable when emotional
when news arrives that athalie has arranged a marriage between camille and a wealthy witch lord to help solve the family banking that her mother had apparently ruined
when avaline closes herself off from camille, camille and nyra venture to new orleans to break avaline out

Thank you to Netgalley for the e-arc of Muted Volume 2. Volume 2 was the perfect continuation following Volume 1. It has everything you want witches, queer relationships, demons(good and bad), plant magic. Truly, this is one of my top series for graphic novels this year. Can't wait to read Volume 3!!

I recieved a digital ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for review.

The second volume of Muted continues to be a beautifully-illustrated and interesting story. In this volume we learn a bit more about Dendro and also learn more about Avaline’s thoughts and feelings throughout her childhood. Overall this continues to be an excellent story and I can’t wait to read volume 3!

I’m ready for Camille to be rid of her family since that’s don’t appreciate her and only want to use her for her power. Her cousin was especially disappointing as she betrayed her in the end. I can’t wait for volume 3.

Yessssss! I was so excited to get the chance to read the second Muted book. This one delved much more into the lore of the different magic families, and we learn a lot about Camille's past and what actually happened. I loved the magic of this world and all of the character development. Overall, a fantastic read for someone who wants witchy vibes, sapphic romance, and some adorable demons.

Thanks to NetGalley, Miranda Mundt, and Ten Speed Graphic for the chance to read and review. My opinions are my own!
