The Chosen (Pinto novel)
''The Chosen'' is a 1999 fantasy novel by Ricardo Pinto. It is the first book in ''The Stone Dance of the Chameleon'' trilogy, which concerns the harrowing experiences of the young and inexperienced heir to a ruling dynasty who is suddenly taken from his protected childhood and thrust into a cruel society where he must fight for his family honour, his position and his life. A 2000 ''Locus'' poll ranked ''The Chosen'' 14th in the Best First Novel category.()
==Development==
Pinto has reported that he first wrote a 600 page draft of the series during the summer holiday while at university in the early 1980s. Ten years later he produced rewritten drafts for the second and third books of the series, before creating a 100 page synopsis of the first book, which was submitted to a publisher, Transworld. The book then took a further two years to complete.
Pinto reports that his writing style has changed through the writing of the series, so that while the final volume has been driven by its characters, the first was driven by its setting. His writing process is to create successive draft outlines for a book, each developing the actions and interaction of the characters and themes in the story in greater detail. The wildlife and setting of the books derived from an idea in the original draft that it would be set in late Cretaceous Antarctica. This also accounted for the day length of 23.6 hours and 396 day years used in the series, which would have been correct for the earth at that time.〔
The book has been criticised for being overly long, which in part is conceded by Pinto and put down by him to inexperience. However, he also says that the relevance of some information will become apparent in the final volume, and upon re-reading.〔
