Rats and Gargoyles by Mary Gentle
4.0
It's a good book, but utterly maddening if only because the author will constantly refer to her characters in terms of their attributes instead of their names. That is
"Do you want to go left?" asked the tall red-headed thief.
"No, I want to go right," said the dark-haired man in leather.
I was constantly trying to remember which thief had red hair, whether the man wearing leather who I thought he was... bugged the hell out of me. Call characters by their names, especially if they're in a big party.
But yes. Rollicking sword and sorcery with twists and chills, all that. And some really nasty characters.
