Do I interpret it correctly that it is typically fantasy settings of the YA assassination variety?

Meaning likely not books from series like Alex Rider, Jason Steed, Bodyguard, Cherub etc. will be appearing on this list?

Not necessarily direct assassination stories, but they have some very good intrigue and murder plots are The Ghost in the Tokaido Inn and The Way of the Warrior
