So I wrote a 104,000 word fantasy novel.
The protagonist is 14, his brother (a POV character that is nearly as talked about as the protagonist) is 19.
Their parents died years ago and they're mature for their age - they support themselves, they work, they pay bills, and the issues they deal with are adult issues.
The writing level is appropriate for teens and up.
Should I refer to this as simply a fantasy novel? I've been calling it a YA fantasy but people say its too long for that. I started the characters young to allow for plenty of growth, physically and mentally, over multiple books. But if that's an issue for agents I'd just make the MC older.
