This is a short story than can be read alone or can go along with "The Chosen Chronicles" series. The Guest, from the title, is residing at a Buddhist monastery, and the reader gets to see how he handles the ideas of Death, Karma, and Reincarnation, especially when they deal with someone he considers a close friend.
While the story is only a few pages in length, the imagery is wonderful, and I could fully visualize the monastery, the monks, and the Guest. This little snippet makes me want to dive right into the series and read more of Ms. Dales' work right away!

This was a prelude not a short story. Very introductory without really going anywhere. It just sort of established an environment and a character.
While it's well written enough, I won't be pursuing the series. I'm more than a little tired of short stories that are segments and trilogies that only contain a novel's worth of story.
