The actions/personalities of the characters did not mature, despite the fact that they got older. They were actually in much more harrowing situations, independent and on their own more in the earlier books (ie - no Coach Hedge type character as a chaperone). The only indication of maturity was romance - and frankly, it's quite a juvenile depiction of romance. I think perhaps the younger readers thought it was more mature, because they hadn't experienced that age yet? I can't say that for sure, because maybe you are over 16 or 17, and I'm just wrong.
