This actually is my least favorite. The Narnians make an attempt at a fight after they've already been invaded, are slaughtered, and Aslan shuts the whole thing down.
But why does he end the world? Narnia has been under the rule of invaders at least twice before. Why at this point? If there had been no false Aslan and no invasion, was it still doomed? Doesn't seem like the place is very old.
Despite all the above, I loved this series when I was little and I still do, despite the fact that it took me until my teens to realize it was a Christian allegory. (we weren't a religious family). It's the fantasy world I love, not the lion. So at the end I feel sad, for in this Narnia heaven there won't be much growth, and on Earth there will be mourning for all those killed in the train accident.
