Technically, no...
Many of the themes are similar, though, and the characters start the story as teenagers...
As with most fantasy, it can be hard to tell the two apart, particularly if the YA fantasy is written well.
This series should be acceptable to both the Adult and Young Adult audiences. It does involve some higher-level philosophical concepts, but through the first book these are only briefly mentioned...
Honestly, even adult American readers have little comprehension of concepts like predestination, so I doubt future novels in the series will delve too deeply into that or other concepts.

If I'm not wrong, this book seems like the High Fiction genre where all the details of the fictional world are clearly mapped out -- the language, the world, the map, the names, the genealogy etc.
So, no, this isn't a YA book if your base for consideration is THG, Twilight, Teen Wolf, Divergent, TMR, Percy Jackson, even, for that matter, Artemis Fowl.
It's more along the lines of LOTR, GoT, Stormlight Archives etc
