In what I read of Narnia, I got this weird feeling like Lewis had a very narrow idea of what Christian morality should be like, but also had natural inclinations that kept undermining it. I couldn't point to a specific example that really stood out to me--it was more a general feeling of incoherence in the story's moral themes.
On the other hand, Pullman seriously needed to step off the goddamn soapbox. Anger is seldom a good emotion with which to write, especially when worldbuilding. I also didn't like how binary it all felt, like you could only be a bad guy who was a religious person or a good guy who agreed with Pullman's ideas.
I'm tempted to say that Narnia was better, but I at least finished reading His Dark Materials, and I wouldn't attempt to read Narnia again if you paid me.
