The job of an editor requires many specific tasks and sometimes requires more than one person,

A line editor reviews every line of a manuscript for typos, misused words (i.e., affect/effect, advice/advise), grammatical mistakes and punctuation errors.

A copy editor makes sure the book's content is concise, clear, correct, easy to comprehend and maintains continuity in its details (i.e., eye colors, names, sequences of events) from start to finish.

A developmental editor works one-on-one with the author to addresses weaknesses such as story structure, inconsistent pacing and poor character development when more substantive editing is required.

Which type of editor overseas character development and continuity in a novel - a copy editor or a structural editor?

Ideally, the author does. You won't find too many "real" editors at publishing houses these days; a novel that comes in with serious structural problems, especially one by an unproven writer, will simply be rejected. A copyeditor will check for continuity and will point out problems with character consistency, but will not address character development.

Is a book editor the same as a book reviewer?

A book editor takes the book from the writer and removes a number of the words. Frequently, with novels, the editor throws out the first four chapters. Ernest Hemingway edited Thomas Wolf's novels. He removed almost half of Wolf's material. After the editor has done his work, the novel is published. The reviewer receives a copy of the novel and writes his opinion of the book. (Reviewers also review films and plays.) The reviews appear in newspapers and on TV and a few other places. The reviewers recommend people either purchase the book or do not purchase the book.
