Zero. I saw the movie with the satyr and pedo ice milf and decided it wasn’t for me.

The Silver Chair is actually my favorite Narnia book. Puddleglum was a very fun hero, and the plot point of Jill forgetting Aslan's instructions was very clever. I also love the escape from the giants. My only complaint is that the Green Witch wasn't developed enough as an antagonist.

I was probably too harsh on Silver Chair. Puddleglum is good but I was not a fan of Jill who as the perspective character brings it down. And while Puddleglum was nice introducing new races and species of fantasy creatures never mentioned before that late into the series isn't something I cared for either.
I could probably bump it higher than Caspian on further thought though. Maybe even Lion Witch Wardrobe

The Horse and His Boy
I could read it a thousand times and I wouldn't get tired of it.

— Horse And His Boy
Top I guess. Much the best plot. Great opening which hooks you smoothly into the adventure. Satisfying ending. Maybe it loses a dimension through being set entirely in Narnia (Calormen, whatever). And through not having a formidable antagonist.

— The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
The freshest and probably the most intense (quasi-crucifixion in particular). The witch is great, Edmund is a little shit, Lucy is a sweetheart.

— Prince Caspian
Good opening with Caspian and his tutor. Nice couple of chapters with the children gradually realizing the time lapse. But it fell away a bit from the midpoint onward. I suppose the duel is a sort of climax but only sort of.

— The Magician's Nephew
Decent story for an origin myth. Lots of vivid set-pieces (Charn, creation of Narnia). Jadis is good. Uncle Andrew is funny-nasty. But there are just too many arbitrary things all of which are only there to set the stage for TLTWATW.

— The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The ship scenes are done well. Eustace is funny. But it's too episodic & the episodes are just a random bunch of things stolen from mythology. No overall scheme. And no real antagonist.

— The Silver Chair
The trouble with this is the giants are a big thing right in the middle and we escape them and relax and then he can't build up the momentum again for the climax, so it comes across just a bit meh. (And after the giants as antagonists he can't build up the green witch or whatever as the Main Antagonist.) Pacing issue. It's OK. Puddleglum's defence of faith at the key moment is good.

— The Last Battle
Tone is just too sour. Good doesn't triumph, everything goes wrong. Yes that's the point (you can't put your faith in the world) but still it's a bit unsatisfying.

If anyone liked The Silver Chair, Lewis has a text called Transposition in which he further explains the point he was trying to illustrate with the dialogue between the Green Lady and the kids
