Naomi with a B answers “Is Inej Ghafa the mc? She’s mentioned a...”

Maia Leigh asked this question about Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1):

Is Inej Ghafa the mc? She’s mentioned a lot when someone talks about this book, but in the description the mc seems to be Kaz Brekker… Also, is there a love triangle here?

Naomi with a B I think it's a little difficult to pinpoint one specific main character in this book - Inej and Kaz would both be considered main characters, as well …moreI think it's a little difficult to pinpoint one specific main character in this book - Inej and Kaz would both be considered main characters, as well as Jesper and three other characters, who I believe are all supposed to be the main characters. So in a way, you're right!

[Vague spoilers in the next paragraph!!!]
Is there a love triangle here... somewhat! There is a situation in which two characters have romantic feelings for the same character. However, it's not the "typical" love triangle setting, since the mutual love interest is only romantically interested in one of them, and - this I especially like - both of the characters do not let their feelings for the same person negatively impact their relationship as friends (that is, they're still the best of friends and never see each other as "competitors" for the romantic affections of the one person they both like)! Also, the love triangle pretty much fades near the end of the first book, and isn't present in the second book. So, yes, there is a love triangle, but it's not a cliched one and it's definitely not a main theme/plot point of the book, more like a minor side story.

Hope that helps!(less)
