Thanks again! I've read it now, and liked it a lot. I'll check out more of Wen Spencer's books.
I especially liked the worldbuilding, but plots and characters were good too. The romance subplot was interesting -- in a world where one man marries a group of sisters, a happy ending to a romance plot requires him to love (or at least like) all his wives, not just the main love interest, and vice versa.

His 14-year old sister fought them off, by shooting from cover, so they didn't know that there was just one attacker. She wasn't strong enough to carry the princess herself, so she went home, and returned again with our hero, who was able to drag the unconcious princess up on a horse.

But I think in a world where there are so FEW men, female homosexuality might well be more culturally accepted even among women who were not really lesbians.

There are a couple of brief mentions of this, like this one:
