fwiw I kind of get what you're saying. I've read a fair amount of YA literature but I do mostly prefer adult books.

I think for me one of the breaking points is now that I'm working harder to learn and succeed, all these 15 year old kids who are so much more capable than saving the adults who've trained for years etc. kind of frustrate me. I get that it's a power fantasy, and that's okay - and good, even, for kids! But as an adult, I find myself sympathizing with the adults more, and find myself annoyed on their behalf at these kids who show up out of nowhere and it's always all about them. Even when you've got people who've trained/prepared for years longer.

So agreement at wanting more details from people claiming YA is better across the board.
