This story was so great! The art style was really good, and I loved the character design. The story was really good as well. I liked the elements of magic and witchcraft. Camille was a really interesting character. I definitely want to continue with this series.

Oh. My. GLOB. This is such a cute book! The art is very dynamic and colorful, setting the tone for much of the story. It’s honestly beautiful. I sat down in one sitting and read over 150 pages.
Romance is not usually in my wheelhouse, but I enjoyed the light aspects of flirtation and tension among the MC and some of the characters. The larger theme of the story was that Camille does not feel as if she fits into her family. I love the magical aspects, especially how one family has alligator familiars. The characters were diverse, with many different races, sexualities and disabilities represented.
The plot moved at a good pace to keep readers interested, the setting of New Orleans felt perfect for the epicenter of magical drama. Overall, it would definitely recommend this!

I read this originally on Webtoon and was beyond excited to hear it was getting a print version. This dark witchy sapphic story has been beautifully reformatted and has gorgeous page layouts.

Camille has to face her past and her family to find herself within a magical society with soooo much generational trauma. Families with matriarchal systems and unique magic to each bloodline, some with darker rituals than others.

The new bonus chapter was unbelievably cute and gave a wonderful new insight to Camilles relationship with Nyra. The game being called apologies and it's use in the story was adorable and made me cackle!

Really enjoyed this graphic novel. Sapphic, witchy, and beautiful art. I love that this is a matriarchal society and almost all the characters are women. The art is gorgeous and the colors are vibrant. I love the FMC and am excited to see her growth. I'm enjoying the plot as well and am curious where it will go in the next volumes.

This was everything I wanted from a graphic novel and more 😍

Muted follows Camille, a witch from the Severin family, who performs a demon summoning blood ritual that goes wrong. Instead of a demon, Camille summons plants and vines, scared she flees into the swamp and learns secrets about her past.

The author's strength is the diverse cast of characters this story develops. All of which are well developed and feel real and like their own persons and personalities. The author does not shoehorn queer and disabled characters into harmful stereotypes.

The art style is beautiful and the use of colour pairs well with the story. Even from the cover the stark red contrasting with the more cool toned background. I loved how each witchy family had their own aesthetic, it sets them apart and doesn't create any unnecessary confusions.

The plot is fast paced and very engaging. Moderate-high stakes and a fresh take on modern witches. Looking forward to reading future volumes.

A solid read. Gripping narrative and interesting artwork, I was hoping for a little more depth out of 300ish page book but it definitely feels like it’s building up to something big and I’m here for it.

Thank you for the opportunity.

Muted: Volume 1 is perfect for fans of sapphic witches (and plants!). Early on, it is apparent that our main character, Camille, hasn't had the easiest life. There is a lot of heaviness in her life due to a variety of things out of her control. Through it all there are bright spots we see. I absolutely adore Camille's familiar (just the cutest little woodpecker) that is by her side through sorting out the mysteries in her life. The art is absolutely stunning. I love the character designs (no "same face" syndrome here!) and I appreciate the diversity. I loved getting to know the magic system and see the world building which I suspect will continue through the series. Camille and most of the supporting cast are loveable, I found the pacing to be great (which can be harder with graphic novels), and the ending left me looking forward to reading the next volume. I get a strong sense of found-family and look forward to hopefully seeing more of that in the future.

Volume 1 appears to be just the start of Camille's story, and I cannot wait to see where things go. I see this Graphic Novel series quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

I thought this was a fun little entertaining comic. As an adult, I don’t think I’m the target audience exactly. I thought it was cute, but sometimes failed to hold me attention all the time.

3.5⭐️

Esta novela gráfica fue publicada originalmente por capítulos en Webtoon pero cuenta con algunos cambios, yo previo a leer esta versión desconocía de su existencia por lo que se trató de una historia completamente nueva para mi.

Camille es una joven bruja, y cuando llega el momento de que realice el ritual de sangre de invocación de demonios que toda futura matriarca de su familia debe completar, tiene miedo de cometer un error, mientras batalla con reconciliarse con su pasado y lo que va descubriendo a medida que progresa la historia.

Atmosférica, misteriosa y muy queer, la combinación perfecta si me preguntas a mi. La paleta de colores de las ilustraciones es hermosa. La historia es muy atrapante y los personajes son interesantes. Definitivamente espero con ansias la publicación para obtener una copia física.

I received this DRC from NetGalley.

Very cute artwork. The story kept me interested. I would have liked to know more about the magic system and the different types of magic, but I assume that will come in later volumes. I do find it a bit unbelievable that nobody would have guessed her secret based on how she looks, but I'll give it a pass on that one for now. It's kinda funny that men are just irrelevant in this world. But also, one of the girls really wants a husband, so I don't know how that will work out. Overall, a fun read, and I'll be picking up the next one when it's available.

Muted Volume 1 is an enchanting and atmospheric start to a witchy coming-of-age series filled with magic, family secrets, and an intriguing mystery. Originally a hit Webtoon, this first volume sets up the world, characters, and overarching plot in a way that immediately pulls you in.

I really loved this graphic novel. The Louisiana swamp setting, combined with the dark family traditions and Camille’s struggles with her magic, made for an immersive read. The story balances mystery, romance, and self-discovery in a way that keeps you engaged, and I’m especially excited to see how the relationships and friendships unfold in future volumes. I can feel this becoming a really sweet romance and have seen in the blurb that this will be a polyamorous sapphic romance which has me very intrigued,

The artwork and coloring were stunning, enhancing the atmosphere and emotions throughout the book. With a strong setup in this first volume, I’m definitely looking forward to continuing the series and diving deeper into the characters’ journeys.

Thank you to NetGalley and Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love, love the art in this graphic novel. The vibes are very dark and mysterious, which really adds to the story. I originally read this title on Webtoons and I am so excited for it to become a printed book. The storyline is very gripping and easy to get pulled into. Love all of the witchy vibes, it is a great read for the fall.

This is a beautifully illustrated, atmospheric story filled with magic, mystery, and self-discovery. Set in a richly detailed New Orleans, the story follows Camille as she navigates family secrets, witchcraft, and her own identity. The artwork is absolutely stunning, bringing every spell and moment to life.

if you like witches, beautiful art and a sapphic polyamorous romance, then i highly recommend this series. i originally read it on webtoon but there’s still some parts of the story that will be new to me moving forward, as it wasn’t a series i had fully completed beforehand. Camille is a witch who’s struggling with her magic and feels ostracized by her family, there’s some secrets to her lineage and the types of magic she possesses. i love all the little pet familiars and the way things take a slightly darker turn every now and then. so happy this is getting republished with physical volumes!

I absolutely loved this comic since I first read it and to have it in book form, I’m ready to purchase them all. What I especially loved about this was that it’s so diverse!!!! It’s not too often you would see comics with black girls being so involved but I loved that the author included us. And as usual the illustrations are so beautiful, I just love when comics just give pretty vibes all over for all of the characters and the setting.

The first volume in this series introduces Camille who feels like she has never been comfortable in her family and what happens when things go wrong. I won’t spoil for those who haven’t read the comic before but just expect this to be a poly sapphic romance ❤️ with lots of world building.

Thanks to the publisher Clarkson Potter/TenSpeed Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

“Muted” by Miranda Mundt is a captivating graphic novel that combines stunning illustrations with a beautifully woven narrative. The magical system is intricately designed and seamlessly integrated into the story, making it both fascinating and immersive. The artwork is vibrant and magical, adding depth to the narrative. The story explores themes of self-discovery, family, and identity, set against a rich backdrop of witchcraft and mysticism. While the pacing is engaging, some elements feel slightly underdeveloped, leaving room for further exploration in future volumes. Overall, “Muted” is a compelling read for fans of magical realism and sapphic romance.

I absolutely loved this story! Muted is the story of a young witch learning all about her powers and certain family secrets. Along the way she makes new friends, reconnects with old ones and begins to learn who she is when she lets go of harsh expectations.

I am obsessed with this story. I absolutely love Camille and her story line. Camille's story is so tragic in the beginning but she's a firecracker determined to become more then what's she's been trained to be.I'm really enjoy the supporting characters as well. I can't wait to see how some of these relationships play out.

I think this book was a wonderful introduction to the amazing story that is sure to come and I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of it.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Always love seeing Webcomics make their way into print format!

This was my first time coming across Muted and I am already in love with the art style! The story itself too has a really cool premise and I can already tell Camille is on her way through an incredible character arc. The touch of romance is cute and the mysteries brought up make me want to read more!

I do wish there had been just a little more time developing some of the world building --- is all romance between witches forbidden or just any romance resulting in a child? It was briefly mentioned that Camille thought only women could do magic; is that a fact or something she was made to believe by her family? Little things like that that kept building some confusion for me throughout.

All said, very much enjoyed this and looking forward to Vol 2!

(I'd also like to note this copy had some typos and speech balloon errors which I am assuming have been fixed for the final copy)

Thank you NetGalley and Ten Speed Graphic for the ARC!

I absolutely love the artwork and the attention to details. The plot itself is great, just wish it were less info dump, since there's a lot of things going on. I also love the attention and respect towards the main characters feeling of loss and grief, and how she feels through her struggles of trying to understand her life and who she really is. Just a few grammatical errors here and there that need some editing, but for the most part was well written.
