The popular opinion is that Ramsay's letter was a lie to get Jon riled up. And Jon will likely get ressurected by Melisandre in the same manner as lady Stark and Berric Dondareon. But we don't know for sure until the book comes out.

If you liked this one try Malazan book of the fallen series. Im reading it now and its heavier on the fantasy but also adult oriented. Its a good read tho
Odd. GRRM stated that Tywin Lannister had his smallfolk martially trained on the regular so that the West were prepared for invasion. You'd think the West would be gully because of a Lord who took his time with that.
But it looks like the badassery died when Tywin got bodied.
I think if Ned took the same steps in training the smallfolk maybe Theon Gayjoy wouldn't have had such an easy time taking Winterfell.

yeah he woulda, remember majority of the able bodied men were off with Robb in the riverlands...its part of why taking Winterfell WAS so easy.
And
GRRM dropped a teaser chapter from the Theon/Reek persepctive showing Stannis was indeed alive and that he had captured Asha Greyjoy and Theon had escaped from Winterfell with fake Arya
I am reading the Malazan Book of the Fallen Series right now and loving it. I am almost done with the second book (Deadhouse Gates) and plan to read all 10+ books.
It is a more complicated book to read and takes a lot of time to develop but I am really into it right now.
The books are as follows for those that want to read them:
1 Gardens of the Moon
2 Deadhouse Gates
3 Memories of Ice
4 House of Chains
5 Midnight Tides
6 The Bonehunters
7 Reaper's Gale
8 Toll the Hounds
9 Dust of Dreams
10 The Crippled God
I don't think it matters if he believes it or not. That Red god bullshyt is tied to and is what fuels his campaign.
That's why I can't really get down with Stannis winning the throne. Too many fanatics in his group and Melisandre.
I decided to look up info on that one. I hear it has characters out the ass, like one of the books has over 200 characters

I see people asking about other fantasy series...
I read the first 3 malazan books but it was too much for me personally.
Too much stuff going, the characters are less interesting and some of the stuff gets confusing and even some possible plot holes there, since there is so much stuff going on and so many magical powers.
I'd recommend First Law series by Joe Abercrombie as someone mentioned. A little more predictable and less plot/character driven but very high paced and features some incredible action and bad ass characters straight out of a Tarantino flick.
For a more philosophical take on cynical low-fantasy I'd say R. Scott Bakker's Second Apocalypse series. Probably my favorite fantasy series outside ASOIAF. The first book starts sort of slow but it really picks up.
For a just slightly more YA-ish yet still dark, cynical series I'd recommend Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles. Incredibly entertaining and I couldn't put it down.
After finishing ASOIAF in like 2 weeks I was starving for similar stuff and read a bunch of fantasy I was recommended, those were easily the best 3.

I'm already reading the First Law series. I'm still on the first book it's pretty tight but I'm not knocking out pages like I did with ASOIAF books.
How do the Second Apocalypse series read? Are they in first person or third person? I also heard there's a lot of rape in that one lol

They are in 3rd person. There is a lot of rape and all sort of foul shyt but that's the thing with these adult, dark fantasy. Personally I think it adds to the savage medieval atmosphere. I don't want the writer sugar coating stuff
