In theory you should feel satisfied because what you didn't like about the first reaches a satisfactory conclusion in the second BUT if someone were to let slip

Spoiler:

that the villain of the second book returns in the third,

then you would be in essentially the same position as you were at the end of the first: knowing that something from the book is still to be resolved.

There are bits and pieces that reappear here and there through the books, like the lost city of Opar. (Well, no longer lost, I guess .) But each book is intended to be complete in its own right.
