World building, some of the stories are amazing (0 more)
The heavy-handed religion, sexism, xenophobia, ham-fisted morality, God hates Susan (0 more)
These are really uneven.
If you skip The Horse and His Boy, The Last Battle, and arguably The Magician's Nephew, these are pretty good reads.

It's fantasy that I have never seen before and what makes it even better is how it includes many of the everyday things we all read about, see, experience etc, such as racism, sexism, etc.
I can to wait for season 2
