LeGuin also wrote Earthsea, which was later labeled as YA, but IIRC she felt that was bizarre. It's not like she wrote it for YA. And as far as high fantasy, it is some of the best out there, in my opinion.

I generally prefer the term "light novel" to "YA". It seems to capture the target audiences more accurately.
