You might like Nevernight by Jay Kristoff, it has a similar atmosphere, ruins of ancient empires and forgotten lore, with a creepy, unsettling vibe. The characters' dynamic also mirrors that of Gideon and Harrow, especially in their attitudes and relationships, though Nevernight lacks the sci-fi elements.If you're looking for more of a technological aspect, like forgotten tech in a more sci-fi sense, it may not hit that note as heavily. Then you might also enjoy The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin, at least I really did.

After reading this book, I wanted to read some other stories with similar settings, but I couldn't really find anything yet.
What I really loved in this story was the searching for the forgotten technologies, the mystery around the ruins, and the creatures that were really creepy and gave a specific vibe to the novel. I'm looking for something similar to this storyline.
After this I've read The Will of the many by James Islington, which also had these features a bit, but I guess we'll see more about that in the upcoming books.
Does anyone know more books with forgotten technologies, mysterious monsters, and ruins abandoned by mysterius people?
