Something else.
Stannis Baratheon did not deserve what the series did to him, he is basically the only character in GOT who still values honour and his word, he was a genuinely good man in an impossible situation, he didn't want to be King for any vain hope of glory or history, he wanted to be King because he had the right, he was the rightful successor of Rob, his brother. He loved his daughter, he sent envoys all across the land to find healers who could cure her greyscale, he would never do what he did to his daughter in the show. In the books, he is the best chance of bringing order and glory back to Westeros, in getting rid of the Lannisters and their evil ways.
