In my often discussed story, the protagonist is seventeen and later eightteen years old. This age makes the most sense for the things she's supposed to do, especially at the beginning.
The story isn't exactly young adult, though. (If young adult really meant what it sounds like, people between 16 and 25 it might fit, but as I understand it isn't.) I believe that many aspects of the story aren't interesting and/or suitable for people younger than about fourteen but (hopefully) interesting to adults. Would you see this as a problem?
I've already considered separating the "training and growing up" part from the rest and make the protagonist older during the quest-like part of the story but I'm not really happy with that eithe.
