Started reading this at Goodwill, later I regretted not purchasing it. It begins in a city, where a roguish man is tasked by some sort of council to kill a witch or sorceress who resides in a mountain (or volcano?). He is an assassin or wizard, or perhaps someone who specializes in fighting magic-users. It was clearly the beginning of a long journey. He might have known the witch or had some previous relationship with her. I've been trying to find this for years!

It could be "Issola" from that series... I'll have to buy it and double check. Thanks!
Please do! I'd love to read this too, one day :)

Right! I'm following also. That sounds like a book to check out.

Exactly!
It is definitely Issola by Steven Brust. I got some of the details wrong (he's not sent to kill the witch, but she does live in a mountain).I'm about 50 pages in and I'm finding the dialogue pretty entertaining / witty. Also the pacing is fast and fun. So far, I recommended it.
