I've read all six, and you really need to read the first set to understand what's going on in the second. There's some backstory at the start of the second series, but you'll spend a lot of time wondering why certain characters would behave in certain ways which make sense if you know the detailed backstory (ie the first trilogy). Personally, I feel that the second series is not as strong as the first, and even then the subsequent novels were not as strong as the first novel. Though I do really like the Darsanga section of the third novel. However after the first novel the rest start to feel like a travelogue - I'm just waiting for one of the characters to make it to Australia!
