I read the first trilogy several years ago, but never started the next series. I think the final book in the first trilogy soured me a bit.
If you are looking for something similar but are dismayed by the number of books (and their size, holy crap), may I suggest The Bridge D'Arnath series by Carol Berg? Series is as follows:
#1- Sons of Avonar
#2- Guardians of the Keep
#3- The Soul Weaver
#4- Daughter of Ancients
It's been a while since I read them, but from what I remember she has the good elements of Carey's series without the bad (vague, I know).
