4/12/18 EQ with first 15 pages
4/30/18 Request for first 50 pages-sent same day
Canned email says give them 3-4 months to review
9/19/18 Nudge asking for update (note I wait more than 4 months)
9/23/18 ER - Canned response that looks like it is rejection of a query. I email back indicating I thought I would get some type of feedback since it was a requested partial.
9/27/18 - short email from Rachel indicating she was "drawn in by concise writing style that narrates dramatic events without becoming overly dramatic in tone. However, I do think that the narration's simplicity leads it to skim over some areas of serious conflict..."

Disappointed because the specific instance she then goes on to cite as an example was contained within the first 5 pages that she read in April prompting her to request a partial. I don't think she read the partial, was too far removed from it and had moved on.
