Huh, got a very unexpected response today from a query I sent back in February. It was my 3rd time querying this agent and she'd never responded previously so it's been CNR for a while. Anyway, she sent a rather detailed rejection. I know she must have liked it a little bit to have read all the sample pages (10) and write so much back, but damn it kinda hurt. "the craft elements are missing" and "it needs lots of revision". Basically the only thing that she liked was the premise. Other than that, she pinged my characters, my setting, my names, my POV structure, and even my choice of genre. Based on her comments, I think it's mostly just a basic incompatibility of taste, but that can't account for *all* of that. Good thing I'm done querying MS6, I guess.
