So call this unrelated or not, but I can speculate that the quality of the first four volumes will parallel the Legend of Korra.

1st season was okay. It had lots of flaws and pacing issues that turned people off, but also lots of fun characters and great action.

2nd season upped the ante, but still had some of the same issues as the first season, and had a dramatic increase in quality halfway through.

3rd season significantly improved in the quality of writing, and people who before scoffed at the series suddenly found themselves invested as an interesting and compelling plot surfaced. It ultimately ends on a bad note, as though the heroes don't totally lose, there was a great cost. Oh, and lots of people die in the process of both series.

I mean I'm no clairvoyant or anything, but if the trend continues, then Volume 4 will keep that same level of quality of Volume 3. Also, if they're so similar, Volume 4 could be about character building, and emotions, something I think many will agree is needed in RWBY. And maybe, just maybe, they can make everyone's favorite F/F ship canon :D? Korra did it after all...
