I have a really, really soft spot for Vin too <3 She's awesome.I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how... I'm not bothered by Kelsier and Vin being special little darlings and having all those types of allomantic powers and being 'special' which otherwise come across as really cliche and trite. Mistborn's characterisation is just a lot of fun.
Honestly, when you're dealing with a main protag in a novel, having them be "special" is not unreasonable. What really counts is not if they have awesome magical powers (and trust me, you'll meet other Mistborn throughout the series so they're not complete special snowflakes) but whether they are full, rounded characters. Which Vin and Kelsier definitely are.
And about the Inquisitors…it gets better. Muwhahahahaha.
