The Chronicles of Narnia
The narrator changes from book to book, so we judge each book on its own.
A series usually gets one verdict for the whole run, because the voice you start with is the voice you finish with. Not here, so the case for listening moves from book to book. Each book below has its own verdict and its own page with the working, and the run as a whole has none.

Whether the run is finished
Finished
The last one came out in 1956 and Goodreads lists nothing further. Five quiet years is where we start using that word.
