As a children's fantasy series, it's okay, but it's certainly nothing great. The religious stuff is way too blatant, some of the characters (Lucy in particular) come across as Mary Sueish, and a lot of the stuff going on just doesn't make much sense at all. As a literary achievement, I'd say Narnia is only slightly above Lloyd Alexander's Prydain series, and doesn't even fit on the same scale as something like Lord of the Rings.
