The bit about life on stars being rather unlike anything we would recognize reminded me of Dragon's Egg a nice bit of rather hard sci-fi (having checked, it has a technical appendix even for the people who care) about a species of aliens living on a neutron star. Among other things, they're very flat, only really have bones temporarily (they prefer flowing around), and find it much easier to move (IIRC) east-west than north-south, due to the magnetic fields.
