They had intended for the story to pick up in Volume 2, but sadly had to move some of the stuff they had planned for Volume 2 into Volume 3, so they could fit in other things they needed to do and make sure that the pacing wasn't too fast.

SpiritedDreaming's advice is pretty good, though you wouldn't entirely know what's going on, since some of the dialogue and such in Volume 3 has been referencing stuff that happened in Volume 2.

Basically, Volume 1 acted as an introduction, Volume 2 acted as buildup and preparation for Volume 3, and Volume 3 has been pretty good in the story department so far.
