Heeeey, how have you been? :) Well, the books are generally ten times better than the show. Make that a hundred times. And Stannis is possibly one of the characters who has suffered most from the adaptation (him and Catelyn). He's a lot more complex in the books, but on the show they have simplified him so much and changed or taken out a lot of the things that make him more likeable. (Stannis/Sansa is still a bit of a random "this should happen in the future at the end of the series" ship, not something that's actually happening in any way in the books. Unfortunately. ;))

I'd definitely recommend reading the books, they're so much better than the show. And many characters are a lot more complex and interesting in the books. But, yes, all the deaths and mutilations and terrible things happening to characters you love can be a bit depressing and that just continues throughout the series. But the books are great, despite all the sadness. And book!Stannis is one of the most brilliant, complex characters I've ever read about.
