They are not fantasy elements either. Real people have been study Alchemy for centuries, this is no different.

I've seen quite a few reviews of it as well where people have labelled it SFF, so that's why we included it. :)
I know a lot of people are saying it is, but that doesn't mean it actually is. When writing my review I did research because I didn't think it should be considered fantasy and I wanted to make sure I was right before I said it. And I was right. 100 people can call a pig a penguin, but it's still a pig either way.

But we've still made it Book of the Month because majority voted for it, and you aren't obligated to read it.
I don't mind if it's BOTM, it's an amazing book and I agree that everyone should read it! I'm just saying that it is not a fantasy book.. and I have clearly already read it?
