For five years, fans of George R.R. Martin's books have been waiting to read about the fate of Jon Snow, and just how he'd be brought back from the dead after the Night's Watch mutiny.

Show fans, meanwhile, only had to wait nine months, and TV beat the books to giving us the answer. It was, as fans of both had long since theorised, Melisandre who brought Jon back from the dead, using her Red Witch powers a la Thoros of Myr and Beric Dondarrion.

The specifics will probably be different in the books, as it's expected Jon will be spending some time warged into Ghost before being brought back, but the end result is going to be the same, and the one pretty much everyone expected.
