Is ASOIAF worth it, even unfinished? Is ASOIAF worth it, even unfinished?

So many people have recommended I read ASOIAF lately. I was a huge fan of the show (mostly). But my current two favorite series are unfinished with little hope for continuation (Gentlemen Bastards, Kingkiller) so I'm wary of starting another series that seems like it has no hope of ever being finished. So I guess my question is: is ASOIAF so good that it's worth reading even knowing it will never be finished? Is the quality of the series so high that it outweighs the disappointment of never knowing the end?
