Thanks, @potatochip, that's helpful. Good luck with your partial!
This agent usually does respond, it seems. Has anyone heard anything recently?

Editing: After seeing KMish's response: AHHH It's ALL a form letter. I got the exact same wording. :D I guess she has several form letters depending on the submission. Still, it was nice.

Update - I received the best personalized rejection from her on 11/22. It was the boost I needed to keep going in my query journey when I was ready to give up. This is fixable!
Dear Kami,
Thank you for sending me your query! Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided that it's not a great fit for me at this time. While I thought your writing was very strong in BLOOD AND THUNDER, I ultimately struggled to fall in love with your premise. There are a lot of common elements within your story and didn't find there to be a fresh enough spin here that would make this sellable in comparison to everything else on the shelf. I am sorry I am not emailing with better news and no doubt another agent will feel differently. I wish you all the very best luck finding a great home and enthusiastic champion for your work. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!
All my best,
Hannah Andrade

she gave me a form with some personalized comments. But similar to some below, it basically wasn't sellable or something

I'm not sure if this is a form or slightly personalized rejection?:
EDIT: Thanks @Catsamoa79! I started querying for the first time a month ago so I'm still figuring it all out.
Dear [NAME],
Thank you for sending me your query! Unfortunately, after careful consideration, I have decided that it's not a great fit for me at this time. While the premise of [NAME] was engaging and interesting, I'm afraid that I struggled to connect with your writing. It didn't propel me into the story the way that I'm looking for. I am sorry I am not emailing with better news and no doubt another agent will feel differently. I wish you all the very best luck finding a great home and enthusiastic champion for your work. Thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!
