[Spoilers, very minimal]
So, I will admit I m sorta new to Sanderson- I just started reading his works last year so I cannot speak to his work extensivley. I have read all available Stormlight Archive and the first Mistborn trilogy. Also, yeah... Sanderson is a good storyteller and you were all on to something. I read Mistborn first and have had this nagging question since I got into Stormlight, is Mistborn YA?
Hear me out. It is a coming of age story, our protagonist both falls in love and learns of- and how to use her powers. She then goes on to uses both her new guy and her new powers to defeat the "big bad". Have I missed anything? Mistborn is totally YA. How is it not YA? Why is is shelved with the grownup books? I'm not really a YA reader so this is messing with me a little, but then I haven't been reading Fantasy at all for the last 15+ years.

Now, wait a minute. How old are half the protagonists from Stormlight... 🤔
