It depends how you define the term "main character". If it means the person that is most involved in the story, then the answer is yes, she is the main character as most of the book is from her point of view. However, some chapters are written through the eyes of Reynaud. Does this mean he is also a main character? True, some of the story was told by him, but he was not actually involved deeply in the plot. If the main character means the person who had the most influence in the story, then it could range completely from one book to another.
