Surely there is a lot to be said for enjoying the journey and not worrying too much about the destination. If the individual books in a series have literary merit then I think they are worth reading regardless of whether there is a sequel, let alone a final book in the series. Conversely, I would not read through thousands of pages of dross just to get to a concluding book. Often final books do not live up to the hype anyway - it is almost impossible for GRRM to fulfill all his fans expectations for the GOT finale, assuming he ever releases it, so the best thing is to enjoy the preceding books in their own right.
