Unpopular Opinion: I really like the ending of Crooked Kingdom where Inej leaves and Kaz stays. It happens to me that I read many takes where he must leave everything he built to be with Inej (who found her purpose). And I think with a mind like Kaz's, with his influence, with his reputation, and his determination, he can totally take the whole rotten part of Ketterdam down over the years. And, perhaps most importantly, he might realize that this is what HE wants to do. I think what Inej says is true: Ketterdam needs someone like Kaz. What a lot of the fandom does is jump on Inej's girlbossification bandwagon and leave Kaz on a boat doing laundry while she does whatever she wants (especially after s&b S2). I think both can do great things from their respective places. Together.
