A pretty confusing and unhelpful talking-in-riddles style rejection that told me nothing about what she read, if she even did so, which I'm not sure because she didn't mention a single thing about the manuscript. Nothing about the writing, the characters, voice, pacing, nothing. A more clear and simple "this wasn't for me" or even a form rejection would've sufficed instead of whatever that was lol. I wasn't impressed and won't query again.
