Personally, I think the second and third books didn't live up to the first, so the lack of further volumes doesn't bug me too much. (Not that I wouldn't pay new-book prices if an actual sequel _did_ appear).
I agree the the next two books were not as brilliant as the first but really, how many books are that good. I also would buy the 4th book in a heartbeat.
