I think, based on her track record, chances are pretty good that book 4 will be nominated for a Hugo so, as you say below, then you'll have a reason to read it :)
But also, I do think A Close and Common Orbit is worth reading with no external drivers for it, if you'd rather not wait a full year :) (I like book 3, Record of the Spaceborn Few, also, as I said, but I do feel like it's probably better not to start with that one, and I know of a fair number of people who like Chambers's work who did not like book 3, so I feel like book 2 is the surest bet, currently.)
