Is Scythe Hideyoshi (mentioned in Scythe as the only scythe to have mastered gleaning through hypnosis) the same aws Grandslayer Hideyoshi that appears in Thunderhead?

I keep a database of scythes, who they are, what their preferred gleaning methods are, robe colors, etc. I’m sure that I consulted that database when I chose Hideyoshi to be a grandslayer. Or at least I hope I did -- and that I didn’t say anything contradictory! (but if I did, I’ll say it was intentional. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it).

Thank you so much for writing The Schwa Was Here. What inspired you to write that book? To this day it means so much to me. Thank you for your AMA!

Thank you! It was inspired by a school visit, where there was this kid in the back with his hand up, who I kept forgetting to call on. He was so unnoticeable! And after that presentation, I couldn’t stop thinking about that idea of being almost supernaturally unnoticeable.
