"Finishing so close to that gold last year at the Olympics; this season we really stepped it up and brought it to them. It shows - five from six (tournaments this season) and now we're world series champions."
Blyde swept the boards at the end of season awards that followed the tournament in Clermont.
She was named top try scorer, DHL Impact Player of the Season and featured in the end of season Dream Team.
"I didn't come here thinking about those bonuses, we came here to win the tournament and the series. We just wanted to make the final and win," she said.
"But it's been my favourite season of all time! It's been a long five years for me and I've enjoyed every season. But holding the series trophy is pretty new and it's been the highlight of my season."
