I was a webtoons gurlie to and from, but I had never found myself coming across Muted (1 & 2) until netgalley.

I really loved the relationship dynamics we got in this book versus the first one. Both Dendro and Nyra were both so different in personality, but were put in this book to help Camille navigate both her past and present. It's sad to see that both in the past and present Camille still continues to have trauma in her family. Overall, I loved this read and the art that went with it!

Big thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this!

Thank you to NetGalley and Ten Speed Press for the e-arc!

This series tackles some dark themes within the first few chapters, and it felt like more time could have been given to process them. In the end, I couldn't vibe with this series, but I would recommend checking it out if you are already a fan or the synopsis speaks to you.

Be still, my precious heart!

As soon as I saw this up for request, I had to request it for reading—the first book had already made an everlasting impression on me.
I never thought I would say this, but this part even topped the first one - and that is very hard to do.

I love this story, and I think things are starting to get very serious and dramatic.
I was on my toes the entire time! I laughed and I cried with this book.
This might be one of my new favourite series.

The character development is done masterfully, the inclusivity is top-notch, and it tackles all the heavy topics in just the right way.
It also has many funny and wholesome moments, so it truly feels very balanced, and I feel connected to the world and the characters.

The art and colouring are beautiful and complete this already rich and magical story.

I am going to pre-order the books right now!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I don’t know why it took this becoming available to read on NetGalley before I knew anything about it. How did it not come across my WebToon years ago? I’ll take sapphic witches with a dark back story any day of the week!!!

I enjoyed this continuation of the Muted volumes. I I loved the dynamic with Dendro and Nyra. Overall the story was written well and the art was beautiful.

What a great follow on from the first volume!

We have further development of relationships, some questions are answered and some new ones arise. This volume feels a bit slower paced than the first, but for good reason. We are building on events from the first volume and the mystery of Camille's childhood is slowly being revealed to us. There is continued family tension building and Camille risks losing her best friend and cousin, Avaline, over the fallout. The romance gets more interesting in this volume with the addition of a new character who may or may not be a potential love interest?? Overall, a great installment and I can’t wait until the next one!

Thank you, NetGalley for this ARC!
I can't say exactly what it was, but I did not enjoy this volume nearly as much as the first. Overall, I loved the art style and the dynamic between our characters. But felt like it was lacking in development when it came to our FMC, Camille. She was less likable in this one for me, but I was still interested in where this story was headed.

A fantastic followup to a really captivating book. The art and story are both well done and I'm loving the varied and dynamic characters. Excited for volume 3

This was just as good as the first volume, the story kept me hooked throughout and the emotional moments hit hard. After that cliff-hanger ending I went and checked out the original webtoon version, cause I couldn't bear to wait however long it takes for future volumes to come out. The adaptation from the original vertical-scroll format to page-by-page layouts was done wonderfully, and improves the reading experience by heaps. Though I gotta say, both the cliff-hanger that ended the first volume and the one at the end of this volume resolve quite anti-climatically.

Fantastic! I enjoyed vol 2 even more than vol 1. The artwork continues to be a treat and the story is engaging but what I love best about this graphic novel is the dialogue. I love the way the characters talk to and interact with each other. I'm enjoying watching Cam grow and the way the behaviour of the people around her so clearly depicts the influences in her life. The way the toxicity of her birth family is replaced with the gentle support and encouragement of her chosen family, and how her character development is paralleled with her cousin's makes a strong statement without devolving into either a play by play or gratuitousness; that's a difficult line to walk when dealing with sensitive subject matter.
Well done Mundt, bring on vol 3!

I really enjoyed the first volume and I enjoyed this just as much! We learn a lot more as the story continues in this volume. The characters are great, the plot is engaging and the art is beautiful

This series has me hooked!! I love the main character and I’m finding her journey really compelling, narratively speaking. The art is really great as well. I can’t wait for the next one.

A very entertaining follow up, there’s a little more depth and urgency in volume 2 and a killer last 100 pages. I’m quite excited to go further into this world.

Thank you for the opportunity.

An intriguing follow up in this dark series of witch families, hauntings, and healing trauma. The characters are full-bodied and layered with the unfolding of intricate plot showing growth and nuance. There is a beautiful romance blooming that does not feel out of place and is heartwarming in its anticipation. So excited for volume 3!

A stunner. I was so happy that Volume 2 was up after absolutely adoring Volume 1 of Muted. The art style is absolutely beautiful and the story is just so, so good. I love the worldbuilding of this story, I love magical realism, and witchcraft being a natural part of this world is so much fun to explore. The characters are very well rounded and I felt with them all (well, besides the villains, but I'm not supposed to there). Just overall a super great graphic novel. Cannot wait for it to continue!

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!
