Sadly it was a rejection. The heavy plot description that focused a little too much on the backstory, threw her off a bit and couldn’t connect with the characters. But, she gave great feedback on the world building and the lyrical language (which she loved)
I can’t wait to query her again soon!

Unfortunately, it was a rejection. Ava seems like a great agent to work with so best of luck to all! She replied with a very kind message, giving good points to the story.

"Hi XX,

Thank you so much for sending over 50 pages. I really appreciate the opportunity to review your manuscript. I was intrigued by X and Y's story. Your characters are well-developed and the school setting is a favorite of mine.

I'm sorry to say, however, that I am stepping aside to let another agent champion XXXX. I apologize for not writing with better news, but I wish you all the best in your querying journey. And I can't wait to see this book on the shelves one day!"
