the owl and the olive tree

I remember a YA I read earlier this year. The cover was gorgeous and had a girl and her dog in what appeared to be a tower room of a castle, and the title indicated it was about them. Sadly, they were barely mentioned in the first half, and very secondary to the likable but very generic angsty prince. Amazon had reviews going on and on about how marketting was insane, alienating half the audience by putting a GIRL on the cover. I wanted to lecture marketting for the CRUEL DECEIT.
