I thought the books were great and the story had incredible depth. This series was one of the best I have ever read. I did find the story moved a little slow, though. I wouldn't change anything, but know that the "action per page" is kinda low.
I still remember while reading the first book "Dune" how guilty I felt taking a shower and seeing all that water just go down the drain. I also would have to periodically stop reading to get a drink because I would get incredibly thirsty - theory of suggestion, I guess. The only series to affect me that way. Wierd.
Even till today, when I start to feel stressed, that phrase goes through my head: "Fear is the mind-killer..."
