I don't care much for YA fantasy though. A lot of those are bad paranormal romances wrapped up in fantasy cloak.
I do read plenty of that, and I'm older than you.

I stay away from those where the description already makes it clear it's all about the girl with some mystic ability or another destined to <insert whatever> but then she meets mysterious, beautiful boy, and ... yeah, those aren't quite my kind of book.

It's not all that, but MG fantasy (or that crossover area between MG and YA - the one inhabited by Jonathan Stroud, Rick Riordan, Derek Landy; I'd put Harry Potter in this category as well) seems to offer more options for plot and character focused adventures that don't necessarily completely eschew some romantic developments but don't focus on them to the extent of the rest of the plot becoming irrelevant.
